Many of you locally have been busy organising coffee mornings as part of the Macmillan Cancer Support Worlds Biggest Coffee Morning, raising vital funds for this fantastic charity to support the 3million people in the UK living with cancer.

On Saturday I dropped by Longwood Boat Club for an enjoyable morning where I enjoyed coffee, cake, chat and live music, before heading to the Fun Day at Brownhills West Community Centre.

I appreciate there were many other events – and many more planned – and as always it’s good to come together across Aldridge-Brownhills to support charities such as this.
