Coffee Upstairs

September 26, 2008 – 8:00 am

We are taking part in Macmillan Cancer Support’s World’s Biggest Coffee Morning by hosting a virtual cafe online. Why? Because all of us have been affected in some way by cancer. Right now, we are thinking especially of a good friend of Upstairs.

What can you do?

Give the price of a coffee at your local cafe right here, via our Just Giving page. Your donation will go straight to Macmillan to help them help those with cancer and their families.

What will we do?

We’ve bought a round of coffees already… Plus, for every individual that comments on this blog up until the end of October we’ll buy you a coffee – donating the cost of a very good cappuccino in leafy Hampton (£1.89 takeaway) to Macmillan’s.

By starting a conversation over coffee, you’ll not only be avoiding a (frankly unnecessary) caffeine rush, we’ll also be giving some money to a great cause, no matter what you say…

We’ve worked with Infinity on their new branding and presence at the upcoming World of Learning event in November. It’s made us think about a) what infinity means, b) school (for many of us, what learning shouldn’t be) and c) e-learning/blended learning. So working with them, we have learnt things…
