Wessex Packaging Supports Macmillan Coffee Morning

The Wessex Packaging teams across the UK will be joining together on Friday 26th September to support the Macmillan Coffee Morning.

This fundraising event helps raise vital funds to support the almost 3.5 million people in the UK living with cancer, from the moment they are diagnosed, throughout treatment and beyond.

The Wessex Packaging teams in Yeovil (Somerset), Manchester and Portsmouth will be getting together in their offices, warehouses (and home offices!) to enjoy their bakes and artisan brews, to raise funds for this fabulous cause.

Wessex staff have already promised to make and bring delights including profiteroles, banana cake, butterfly cakes and sticky toffee puddings!

There’s even a BBQ cooked breakfast being planned for the Wessex Packaging HQ team in Yeovil, and the Manchester team are planning an Ultimate Steak Sandwich lunch for a £10 donation!
