The Ark in Basford raises funds for Macmillan Cancer Support with a teddy tombola treat

Individuals supported by The Ark in Basford, Nottingham, enjoyed a fun-filled coffee morning to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support — bringing together friends, staff, and the local community for a great cause.

The event raised almost £100, with the highlight of the morning being a popular Teddy Tombola, which brought plenty of smiles and excitement. Those supported by The Ark particularly enjoyed picking their cuddly prizes while sharing tea, coffee, and homemade cakes.
