Sultan holds successful Macmillan coffee morning
PERSONNEL from HMS Sultan were treated to a bounty of cakes and delicious snacks as the Royal Naval Air Engineering & Survival Equipment School (RNAESS) participated in a coffee morning recently; which has become an annual tradition and aims to raise vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.
The event was organised by RNAESS Infrastructure & Admin Manager Carole Henderson and ICT Support Andrea Jones; thus allowing personnel from across the base to purchase treats or drinks alongside providing a chance to socialise with others. Treats featured pizza slices, sausage rolls and a variety of cakes, including carrot and chocolate recipes as well as a traditional Victoria Sponge.
Andrea said: “This has become such an important tradition for us here at RNAESS. Every year we’re amazed by the generosity of our colleagues – not just from the Air School but right across HMS Sultan. The students always get involved too, which is wonderful to see. Cancer touches so many families, and it’s heartening to know that through something as simple as sharing coffee and cake, we can make a real difference to people who need Macmillan’s incredible support services.”
Macmillan Cancer Support is a cancer care charity that was launched in 1911 and has helped people who have the disease, as well as their families and friends. Their coffee mornings have been held in many locations including businesses, offices and schools raising money. This helps the charity to continuing providing the best care and advice as possible for those at their most vulnerable.
This mixture of savoury and sweet treats proved successful as the coffee morning raised a total of £606 overall; a fine achievement that brought the Sultan community together for a good cause. Readers can donate to the training establishment’s fundraising page available by clicking this link.
