AWE staff raise big slice of cash for Macmillan

AWE employees raised £5,024 for Macmillan cancer support with a baking bonanza, in support of the charity’s world’s biggest coffee morning.

The total included a £500 contribution from the AWE Charity Fund.

Eighteen teams swapped labs and computers for mixing bowls to roll up their sleeves and produce an amazing selection of posh patisserie. Colleagues were happy to donate in exchange for a variety of gut-busting treats – in the interests of charity of course.

The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning is Macmillan’s biggest fundraising event for people facing cancer. People and organisations all over the UK host their own coffee mornings and raise millions in donations for Macmillan.

On the 8th of May 1945 - known as Victory in Europe Day or VE Day - celebrations erupted around the world to mark this.  Aldermaston had played its part in the liberation of Western Europe as it formed the launch point and training ground for American airborne operations for the 101st Airborne Division, nicknamed the "Screaming Eagles”, during D-Day a year earlier and the failed Operation Market Garden.
