RESIDENTS donated home-made cakes as The Curlew Centre, in Sutton Bridge, held its first coffee morning for Macmillan Cancer Support today.

The newly-opened centre welcomed visitors for coffee and cake as part of Macmillan’s World’s Biggest Coffee Morning fund-raiser.

The event raised �55 for the charity, which helps cancer sufferers and their families.

Alan Barber, from the Sutton Bridge Community Centre Fund, said “As The Curlew Centre is newly-opened, this was the first year we have been able to host a Macmillan coffee morning but we are looking forward to making this an annual event as it’s such a great cause.”

Volunteer Linda Robinson holds a coffee morning every Friday between 9.30-11.30am in the Diamond Hall at the centre. The event is free but all donations go the upkeep of the centre.
