Employees event
A group of employees from Anaeko has raised donations for people living with cancer by hosting an event as part of Macmillan Cancer Support’s World Biggest Coffee Morning.
The event was held on on Friday 27th September at Anaeko’s Belfast Office.
Macmillan is almost entirely funded by donations and simply cannot support the growing number of people with cancer who need them without the public’s help. Every two minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer. There are over 2.5 million people living with cancer in the UK and this is set to grow to almost 4 million by 2030.
We took some photos on the event and we are happy to share these photos with you.
