Thank you for helping us raise £360 for Macmillan Cancer Support

05 November 2024

Our recent Macmillan Coffee Morning put the team's baking skills to the test, and brought together not only the Edward Cooke Family Law team at our Chilgrove office, but also fellow residents of the Chilgrove Business Centre, as well as clients and other friends and colleagues who joined us on the day. Thank you for everyone who supported the event. 

Macmillan Cancer Support is a charity close to so many of us and we were thrilled to have raised £360, providing much needed funds to continue Macmillan's work as part of their annual "World's Biggest Coffee Morning" event.
