Kleeneze Agents Coffee Morning
Organise a coffee morning for Friday 26 September with your friends, colleagues and customers and help Kleeneze and Macmillan Cancer Support change the lives of people affected by cancer.
THE CHALLENGE%u2026
The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning is one of the largest single fundraising events in the UK. Last year, over £7.5 million was raised from 44,000 coffee mornings, to help people affected by cancer. This year, their target is £8.5 million and together with Kleeneze Head Office, we want to raise a Kleeneze Anniversary £85,000.
“Just think, if every distributorship here today held a small sizzle and raised £50 each selling coffee and cake we could easily reach this target! So, get some family and friends together, brew up some coffee with your colleagues and really make a difference to the lives of people affected by cancer. I know that just like everything else in this business, if we put our mind to it we can do it together.”
Jamie Stewart, Managing Director of Kleeneze, speaking at the Christmas Showcase 2008

TIPS FOR SUCCESS
Not only is this an ideal event for you to do your part for charity, it’s also a brilliant chance to get your team together and invite potential Distributors to share in the fun! It’s also an opportunity to gain some media coverage in your area, boost your profile and create some leads.
Think carefully about the event before you start and put an action plan together. Consider where it is to be held (workplace, school, local halls, community centres, sports centres), how long you wish it to run for and who can help you on the day
Who you are going to invite (friends, family, colleagues, friends of friends)
Advertise your event anywhere and everywhere you can
Create posters and invitations-Macmillan has fantastic resources on their Be Macmillan website (www.be.macmillan.org.uk)
Link up with local coffee shops, take cakes etc and ask if they will sell on your behalf
Think about if your story has a PR angle – have you or someone close to you been touched by cancer or used MacMillan?
Invite local councillors / celebrities to any events that are hosted
Take coffee and cakes out when you catalogue and see if you can encourage customers to buy for a good cause
Visit local building sites and take coffee and cake and charge them for the privilege!
Most importantly, let us know what you have planned! EWB will be liaising with Kleeneze’s PR company, SASS in the weeks leading up to the big day so let’s get your stories out there! ewb@kleeneze.co.uk.
Together we can change the lives of people affected by cancer!
