Kemptown MP supports Macmillan coffee morning

Simon Kirby, MP for Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven, recently joined residents in Peacehaven to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support as part of Macmillan’s world’s biggest coffee morning events, which took  place up and down the country.

Simon said:

“Macmillan do such great work helping people deal with cancer, from diagnosis, through treatment and after so that no one has to face cancer alone and I was therefore pleased to help support the fundraising efforts here in Peacehaven.”

Simon visited the Maples Care Home to join in with their morning before heading to the Meridian Centre in Peacehaven where organisers were selling handbags and bric a brac as well as coffee and cakes.

Simon added:

“I was able to enjoy a number of lovely cakes baked by residents and would like to thank the people of Peacehaven and elsewhere for their generosity in giving to this worthwhile cause.  Cancer will sadly affect so many of use, either directly or indirectly and that is why the work of Macmillan is so important.”
