How to support Macmillan Coffee Morning

We’re supporting Macmillan Coffee Morning in the M&S Café so you can connect with friends over a slice of cake or make your own treats with our baking ideas.

Tuck into a cosy slice of cake and a warming cuppa with friends to support Macmillan Coffee Morning on Friday, 26 September 2025. We’re proud to have been a partner of Macmillan Cancer Support, the UK’s leading cancer charity, since 2010. Coffee Mornings big and small help Macmillan provide support for the almost 3.5 million people in the UK living with cancer.

This year, we’re donating 5p from every slice of cake sold in M&S Cafés in September. There's never been a better reason to stop into the Café to discover our range of decadent bites.
