THE store manager at Burnley’s Mark and Spencer has cycled a total of 150 miles in two days for charity.

Proving it wasn’t just fundraising, but M&S fundraising, Max Robinson visited all 17 stores in the region for Macmillan Cancer Support.

The national chain is raising money all month for the cancer charity’s national World’s Biggest Coffee Morning event, which raised more than £20million last year.

And among almost 20 events in the Burnley area aiming to make this year’s event the most successful yet, staff at Marks and Spencer, in St James’ Street, hosted various money raising initiatives.

Max said: “The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning provides a great excuse to gather with friends, family, or work colleagues, put your feet up and enjoy a cuppa and a slice of cake — and all in aid of a truly worthwhile charity.

“The event provided losts of fun activities for the whole family to enjoy.”

M&S is donating 5p from every coffee and cake sold in its cafes this month, along with 20p from every Victoria sponge cake sold in its food halls.

A set of bespoke Macmillan badges designed by renowned British designer Celia Birtwell and a ‘Macmillan Cupcake Kit’, will also be available for a suggested donation price of £2 each.

Alix Wooding, head of corporate partnerships at Macmillan Cancer Support, said: “Since M&S first teamed up with Macmillan in 2010, the partnership has raised a staggering £2.8 million.

“The money raised last year helped to fund vital Macmillan posts in the community. This can be providing emotional support and practical advice for people living with cancer and their families too. We can’t thank people enough for their generosity.”
