CARLISLE'S Pirelli factory joined in the world's biggest coffee morning - raising money for McMillan Cancer Support.

Each year Pirelli UK employees support the charity and this year have raised an outstanding £1,635.50.

Cake sales, quizzes and raffles helped boost funds raised at Carlisle's site on Dalston Road.

The event at Carlisle was organised by the Dine Catering team.

Heather Watts, contact centre manager, said: "We are so proud of our coffee mornings.

"The amount raised this year is fabulous and is testament to great support from our colleagues and the company."

McMillan's coffee mornings have been running and celebrate since 1990.

As one of the largest annual charity events, the World's Biggest Coffee Morning is a great way for everyone to get involved, with all proceeds being donated to a worthy cause which help those battling cancer.

With events such as the coffee mornings, Macmillan are able to involve as many people and communities as possible to raise money and awareness of their organisation.
