RAISING A MUG
FOR CHARITY
Coffee seems to be
something most people agree is essential
in the morning, and
Epwin Window Systems is no exception.
But instead of just
putting t he kettle on
for a co-worker or two,
staff decided to hold a
coffee morning fundraiser for MacMillan
Cancer Support serving all of its staff.
Colleagues from Epwin
brands’ Profile 22 Systems,
Swish Windows & Doors,
Spectus Window Systems,
PatioMaster and Safeware
came out in their droves not
only to enjoy a good cup
of coffee and a cake but
also support a truly good
cause.
With locally roasted coffee
donated and provided
by Kev Burrows of local
business Iron & Fire coffee
roasting, based in Ironbridge, staff were able to
choose from lattes, cappuccinos, Americanos and
more. Not only that, staff
themselves baked cakes for
the event. Ranging from
Hummingbird cake, sticky
brownies and peanut butter
cookies to chocolate cheesecake and lemon meringue
pie, there were a lot of
empty plates left by the end
of the morning.
Raising a total of £540.73
for Macmillan, Lucy Forrester, Customer Service
Administrator for Epwin
Window Systems, said: “It
was a fun morning had by
all and we decided to do it
for that exact reason. It was
something everybody could
join in on and of course we
were able to raise money
for a good cause.”
