Maggie's Oldham is encouraging people to make the most of the extra bank holidays in May to get together with their friends, families, communities, and workplaces to raise much-needed funds for people with cancer.
The kitchen table is often the first stop for new visitors to Maggie’s Oldham. Here they can relax with a cup of tea, perhaps join in the conversation and meet a member of Maggie’s professional staff.
For all centre visitors, the Maggie’s kitchen table is a place where they can talk to people who really understand what it means to be living with cancer.
That’s why for Kitchen Table Day, Maggie’s would like you to gather those people important to you round your own kitchen table, and to do something amazing for people with cancer.
Whether you are basking in the sunshine of a garden party, having a night in with friends, or even hosting a coronation watch-along, there are plenty of ways you can help support the vital work Maggie’s Oldham does.
The fundraising event can take place at any time in May. Every single penny raised will help Maggie’s Oldham provide support to more people with cancer and their loved ones.
To get started, or for inspiration, people can grab a free fundraising pack from the Oldham centre or visit www.maggies.org/kitchentableday. Packs contain everything needed for the day including bunting, balloons, party games, invites and even a collection box for your all-important donations. Should you need anything else, contact the fundraising team on 0161 989 0553 or email oldhamfundraising@maggies.org
Maggie’s helps people take back control when cancer turns their life upside down. Expert staff focus on the things that really make a difference to people with cancer and their friends and family, like help with stress and depression, managing side-effects of treatment, family support, helping with money worries and bereavement support.
All support is free and no appointment or referral is needed – just come in.
People are being encouraged to share photos of their event on social media using the hashtag #kitchentableday
