Dobbies 'raises a cup' takes part in Macmillan’s Coffee Morning in Inverness

Dobbies Garden Centres is raising vital funds for Macmillan’s Coffee Morning this week, by hosting its own Raise a Cup event in the Inverness store.

From 10.30am until Sunday September 27 in Dobbies customers will be able to enjoy special cupcakes, with proceeds going to the charity.

There will be opportunities to make donations at the till and throughout the restaurant, plus a chance to win a cake bundle by guessing the weight of the bundle.

Macmillan is encouraging the public to do whatever it takes to get involved in the annual coffee morning fundraiser now in its 30th year.

The official coffee morning takes place on Friday September 25, with Dobbies hosting a special Facebook Live event from 1pm with coffee specialists Matthew Algie and Gosia Lendzioszek who will chat through fun facts and myth busters about coffee, host demonstrations, invite questions, as well as encouraging people to donate online.

Dobbies will also be encouraging customers to show off their best home-baking on social media with a competition to win an afternoon tea for two.

Graeme Jenkins, Dobbies chief executive, said: “Macmillan Cancer Support deliver amazing work and we hope that our Raise a Cup event contributes to the fantastic fundraising efforts taking place across the UK.

“We encourage everyone to make their coffee count during this week and visit Dobbies Inverness to raise a cup for this worthwhile cause.”

Dobbies will give the full donation from the sale of cupcakes, collections at the tills and buckets located in the restaurants, from guess the weight of the cake bundle as well as online during the Facebook Live event.
