The TWIG Committee are very pleased to announce that the TWIG Macmillan Coffee raised 540 Euros for this great cause.  

Thank you everyone who turned up with cake donations.  They were all very tasty and I think lots of homes continued to enjoy cake into the weekend, judging by the number that left in cake boxes.

Thank you to everyone who donated so generously on the day too.  

Thank you to everyone who couldn’t come along on the day but still donated and/or baked a cake too. You are wonderful.

Shout out to the TWIG team who were there pulling it all together.  We had new members sign up, whilst enjoying cake and coffee.  A lovely way to pass a Friday morning.
