#foodiefundraiser for RNLI

As we're sure you all know by now, Mitchells Dairy is always happy to be a part of events which raise money for worthy and deserving causes.

And on Thursday 9 May, we are doing our bit once again - by hosting the #foodiefundraiser in aid of RNLI, the charity that saves lives at sea.

As well as Mitchells Dairy, there will be a wealth of other local suppliers who will have some of their products for those attending to sample.

Amongst those who will be taking part in the #foodiefundraiser are Downies, Gordon Presly Butcher, JG Ross Bakers, Pulsetta, Berry Scrumptious, and Devenick Dairy.

In addition, Enotria Wines will be promoting a range of wines including Urlar - a wine produced in New Zealand by friends of ours who moved there from Scotland 10 years ago!

Guests will be given an opportunity to speak to the food producers, sample their produce, taste wines chosen to compliment each product and enjoy some fun and fundraising; the local fundraising committee for the RNLI will be there to run a raffle and RNLI merchandise stall.

In hosting this event, we hope we can not only raise funds for RNLI, but also raise awareness of what they do and how they put their lives’ on the line to save the lives of others.

Tickets (in return for a suggested donation to the RNLI of just £10 per person) are available from the checkout in our shop, by phoning on 01467 621389 or emailing Judy at judy@mitchells-scotland.com

Cupcakes & Coffee for Macmillan Cancer Support

The World's Biggest Coffee Morning, Macmillan Cancer Support's biggest fundraising event, is this Friday 28th September - and at Mitchells, we will be doing our utmost to raise money for people affected by cancer.

Since its origins in 1990, the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning has raised over £60 million in total for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Just last year, 51,000 people signed up to coffee mornings across the UK, raising a staggering £10 million - and that number is expected to increase even further this year.

To celebrate The World's Biggest Coffee morning, The Dairy Tearoom will specially bake a range of delicious cupcakes, complete with green icing.

We will then donate the proceeds of the sale of these cakes, alongside any teas and coffees bought with them, to Macmillan Cancer Support.

If you are joining in The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning this year, and are hosting an event at work or at home, we would love to know what you have planned.

Using Macmillan's tweetmap facility, we found out that there are lots of exciting events happening in and around Aberdeenshire on Friday, including coffee mornings at Hoodles Playbarn and Coffee Shop and Meikle Wartle Village Hall.

Let us know what you are doing - and when Friday comes, we want to feast our eyes on what you and your friends have been baking.

Simply upload your Coffee Morning pictures to the Mitchells' Facebook page, or if you would prefer to upload your picture on Twitter, send the picture to @MitchellsDairy.

Make sure you include the hashtag #coffeemorning, and if you want your event to be featured on Macmillan's tweetmap, include the first part of your postcode eg #AB51.

If you can't join us in The Dairy Tearoom on Friday, we hope you’ll take the time to get together with friends, family and colleagues and raise lots of money for Macmillan.

After all, by making time for what really matters, you'll be helping to improve the lives of people living with cancer in the UK.
