Coffee Morning
Everyone loves a bit of cake! Below you can find all the information and tips you need to make your coffee morning a success.
How do I get started?
A successful coffee morning doesn't require lots of planning or equipment. Here's everything you'll need to get started:
Pick a venue
Pick somewhere that's easy for people to attend, such as your workplace, community centre or home.
Set a date and time
Late mornings are perfect for a coffee morning, but choose a time that suits your audience and gives plenty of people the opportunity to attend.
Recruit your bakers
Ask friends, family or colleagues to bring cakes, biscuits or other sweet treats. Remember to clearly label any allergens. You could even add a fun element with a themed bake or friendly bake-off competition.
Spread the word
Create a poster and spread the word by email, WhatsApp and social media.
Set suggested donations
A suggested donation of £1-£5 per treat is a great guide.
Plan how you'll collect donations
You can request a collection box from us or create a QR code linking directly to your fundraising page.
Add some finishing touches
Decorations, tablecloths, homemade signs and Whizz Kidz bunting can help make your coffee morning stand out.
