Hi, I am taking each day with grace; how are things going for you? It is not the same as a collage but I did a Macmillan with a group to make bunting for a coffee morning with older residents. It was lovely bringing people together, having cake for them and raising money for cancer in the process.
We held the event in the supported home's living area. It was great getting a lot of the residents involved, seeing them happy, meet new faces and be a part of something. I brought along a cake that I made with my neighbours, it was a typical victorian sponge cake and staff supporting the event brought some store-brought cakes to have enough to go around. The most amazing thing was some of the residents baked some beautiful cakes, one cake with a blue, red and icing droplet pattern right around it. It was a lovely event and having that time with the residents.
We raised something around 300+ pounds and was my first Macmillan.

Good effort! Really great thing for supported homes when everyone can get together and of course for the charity. I’ve lived in supported accommodation in the past and found it very isolating so it cheers me to hear about people coming together.
