INDIVIDUALS, groups and businesses across Chelmsford are preparing to serve up coffee and cake in aid of a cancer charity.

This Friday Macmillan Cancer Support holds its annual World’s Biggest Coffee Morning, an event which raised £25million nationally last year.

In Chelmsford, events will take place at the Army Careers Office in Duke Street, from 9am to noon, and at Waterhouse Volvo’s showroom in Waterhouse Lane, from 9.30am to 1.30pm.

A coffee morning, along with a raffle, will also be held at The Strand beauty salon in Moulsham Street, while the Village Pharmacy in Writtle will be celebrating its relaunch after refurbishment and raising money for Macmillan at the same time.
