Colleagues across Unity Mutual and The Oddfellows have been getting their bake on for our annual Macmillan Coffee Morning.

From homemade cakes and sweet treats to generous donations, we've come together to raise money for a cause that supports millions of people affected by cancer.

We're proud to support the incredible work of Macmillan Cancer Support , helping them continue to provide vital care, guidance and support to those who need it most.

A huge thank you to everyone who baked, donated and joined us for a brew and a slice.
