Macmillan Coffee Mornings have become a regular event in the UK since 1991, and there will be several places hosting events in Southend that you can attend for 2022.

Coffee mornings are hosted to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support, with £11 million having been collected in 2021.

On their website, Macmillan say: "A Coffee Morning can be whatever you want it to be. It could be at home, on your driveway, a hall or online, whatever suits you best.

"You can hold a garden get together and throw a barbeque, or treat your colleagues to some homemade bakes, or even get together with friends for a takeaway."

Here are the events you could attend in Southend on Friday, September 30th.
