We are thrilled to announce that Village Blinds and Shutters will be hosting a Macmillan Coffee Morning on Friday, 18th October, from 10 AM to 12 PM at our showroom located in the heart of Pennybridge Industrial Estate, Ballymena. This wonderful event is part of the national Macmillan Coffee Morning initiative, helping to raise funds and awareness for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Why Macmillan Cancer Support Matters
Cancer is a reality that affects millions of lives across the UK, including right here in Northern Ireland. Macmillan Cancer Support is dedicated to helping those affected by cancer, offering vital services from the moment of diagnosis, through treatment, and beyond. Whether it’s practical, medical, or emotional support, Macmillan is there every step of the way to ensure that no one has to face cancer alone.
By participating in our Macmillan Coffee Morning, you will be helping to raise funds that will make a real and tangible difference to those impacted by cancer. Every donation, no matter the size, contributes towards ensuring Macmillan can continue its essential work.

Our showroom will be transformed into a welcoming space for everyone to come together, enjoy some tasty treats, and of course, savour a good cup of coffee! We invite you to join us from 10 AM to 12 PM on 18th October at Village Blinds and Shutters, where we’ll be offering a variety of delicious cakes, biscuits, and other sweet delights for all attendees.
Whether you’re coming along to enjoy a quick cuppa before work or plan to stay and chat with friends and neighbours, we would love to see you there. Our team at Village Blinds is excited to host this special event, and we’re looking forward to meeting new and familiar faces alike.

How to Get Involved:
The best part? You don’t need to book a time to attend, just drop by our showroom anytime between 10 AM and 12 PM. However, to help us plan the day, we encourage you to register for free on Eventbrite. While registration isn’t required, it gives us an idea of how many cakes and cups of coffee we’ll need!
The Impact of Your Support
By attending this event, you’re doing more than just enjoying a tasty snack – you’re making a direct impact on the lives of people living with cancer. Donations raised through Macmillan Coffee Mornings across the country help fund a range of services provided by Macmillan Cancer Support. This includes specialist cancer nurses, helplines, counselling, and practical advice for patients and their families.
Since its inception in 1990, the Macmillan Coffee Morning has grown to become one of the UK’s most beloved charity events. It’s a time for communities to come together, have fun, and raise much-needed funds for a cause that touches so many lives. Last year alone, thousands of coffee mornings were held across the UK, raising millions of pounds to support the three million people living with cancer in the UK today.
Village Blinds and Shutters: Supporting Our Community
Here at Village Blinds and Shutters, we believe in giving back to the community that has supported us for so many years. Hosting a Macmillan Coffee Morning is just one of the ways we’re doing our part to support local and national causes that make a difference. We are proud to be part of the Ballymena community and are excited to see as many of you as possible at our event.
It’s events like these that remind us of the strength of community spirit, and we hope that this year’s Coffee Morning will be bigger and better than ever before. Not only does this event provide an opportunity to raise funds for Macmillan, but it’s also a great chance for us to connect with the wonderful people of Ballymena.
More Than Just a Coffee Morning
While coffee and cake are certainly the stars of the show, the Macmillan Coffee Morning is about so much more. It’s a time to share stories, celebrate life, and remember those we’ve lost to cancer. It’s a moment to reflect on how far cancer support has come, and how much further we can go with the continued efforts of organisations like Macmillan Cancer Support.
You’ll also have the chance to learn more about Macmillan’s vital work, from the incredible stories of people who have benefitted from their support to the wide range of services they provide. We’ll have information available for anyone interested in finding out more about Macmillan’s work or ways to support them beyond the Coffee Morning.
Can’t Make It? You Can Still Support!
If you can’t join us on the day, you can still make a difference! Macmillan accepts donations online, so you can support their incredible work anytime. Just head to their website and make a donation, knowing that every pound you give helps to ensure people affected by cancer get the care and support they need.
Alternatively, if you’d like to host your own Macmillan Coffee Morning, it’s easier than you think! You can find all the resources you need on the Macmillan website, including invitations, posters, and ideas for making your event a success.

Don’t miss out on this chance to support a cause that changes lives. We would love to see you at Village Blinds and Shutters on Friday, 18th October for a day of community, coffee, and cake. Let’s come together to show our support for Macmillan Cancer Support and help make a difference for the millions of people living with cancer.
