Coppice Lodge Care Home in Arnold, Nottinghamshire, part of HC-One, proudly joined thousands of people across the UK in support of Macmillan Cancer Support by hosting a special Coffee Afternoon as part of the charity’s annual fundraising campaign.
The event brought together residents, families, colleagues, and members of the local community, who gathered to enjoy freshly brewed tea and coffee alongside a tempting variety of homemade cakes and biscuits. The home’s lounge was decorated for the occasion, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere where guests could relax, chat, and enjoy each other’s company. Laughter and conversation filled the room as everyone came together to support a cause close to many hearts.
Generous donations were made throughout the afternoon, with all proceeds going directly to Macmillan Cancer Support. These vital funds will help the charity continue its work providing practical, medical, and emotional support to people living with cancer, as well as their families.
Combined with the Macmillan Cancer Support Coffee Afternoon event, the home also hosted a Kitty Café Afternoon including a visit from the cat rescue charity, Meow and Furever.
Ken Buxton, Home Manager at HC-One’s Coppice Lodge Care Home, said:
“We’re so proud to support Macmillan Cancer Support and the incredible work they do. Cancer affects so many lives, and it means a lot to us to be able to give something back. Our residents loved being part of the fundraising and welcoming visitors into the home for such an important cause.”

“It was wonderful to see our residents, families, and neighbours come together to enjoy such a positive event. The generosity shown was truly inspiring, and we want to thank everyone who came along, donated, or baked cakes to make the afternoon a success.”
