Coffee morning at funeral directors raises money for charity

Forty people and five dogs attended a recent funeral home coffee morning to raise money for three charities.

After the success of a similar event back in January, Mags Johnson, branch manager at Alan Greenwood & Sons funeral directors in North Cheam, arranged the coffee morning to coincide with her birthday on 25 July.

Businesses, such as Tesco, McDonald’s and Starbucks, donated refreshments and cups to the event, which raised £500 to be shared between Wildlife Waystation Animal Sanctuary in Los Angeles; St Raphael’s Hospice; and Battersea Dogs and Cats Home – where Mags has volunteered for the past seven years.

Attendees were treated to pizza for lunch by neighbours of Alan Greenwood & Sons, Pizza 2 Go.
