Lincolnshire is doing its bit for charity today with coffee mornings in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support taking place in every corner of the county.

Over 1,000 coffe mornings are being held in the county after around £80,000 was raised for Macmillan in Lincolnshire, last year.

Schools, surgeries, businesses and community groups alike are all getting involved offering coffee, cakes, raffles and entertainment.

Skellingthorpe Health Centre is running its event for the eighth year, hoping to meet last year's target of £140.

Organiser, Pamela Norris, who works at the surgery said: "It's great to do our bit for charity but the coffee morning is also for the local residents to come along and have a chat.

"There's quite an elderly ratio of people that we see at the centre and they do look forward to the event.

"Everyone has helped out, the nurse's daughter and my granddaughters have made some cakes for today and my daughters have come along to help greet people and do the washing up."
