Network Ryde - Ryde Town Council’s youth service - held its annual Macmillan Coffee Morning recently.

Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, last year’s coffee morning could not go ahead, so Network Ryde pulled out all the stops to make sure this one was extra-special.

There was lots of baked goods made and donated by young people, staff and friends of Network Ryde.

There was a steady flow of people throughout the day as members of the public were visiting the Youth Centre, together with parents, young people and councillors who were there to support Network Ryde and Macmillan.

A group of young people who access Network Ryde were there for the duration of the day helping out, washing up, waiting tables, taking orders and leafleting and spreading the word around town.

Some young people who baked for the coffee morning also used their bakes towards their Duke of Edinburgh’s Award as they have baking and cooking down for their skill section.

After a busy day with lots of donations, Network Ryde raised an amazing £317 for Macmillan Cancer Support and the event also raised awareness of Network Ryde and the services they offer to support the Island’s young people.
