People are invited to ‘Pause for a good cause’
Lindt Choco Wafer and Macmillan Cancer Support are encouraging people to make space for small but meaningful moments this Macmillan Coffee Morning, with the launch of ‘Pause for a good cause’. From Friday, September 25 to Sunday, September 27, groups visiting participating Lindt Chocolate Shops across the UK can say “Pause for a good cause” when purchasing a coffee to get another one free, alongside a complimentary Lindt Choco Wafer Milk Hazelnut treat bar each.
The initiative forms part of Lindt’s support of Macmillan Coffee Morning 2026, the charity’s annual fundraiser which brings people together while raising funds to support people living with cancer. Lindt is the charity’s exclusive confectionery partner for 2026.
Angèle Villet, Marketing Director at Lindt & Sprüngli UK, said: “Some of the best conversations happen when we simply take the time to pause, whether that’s catching up over a coffee, sharing a treat or checking in with someone we care about.
“Through our ‘Pause for a good cause’ initiative, we’re encouraging everyone to make a little more time for each other this weekend by celebrating the Macmillan Coffee Morning, while supporting the incredible work Macmillan does for people living with cancer.”
Jan Forrest, Head of Relationship Fundraising at Macmillan Cancer Support, added: “It’s a brilliant opportunity to bring people together and remind friends, family and loved ones that no one has to face cancer alone. Coffee Morning doesn’t need to be big; simply getting together can make a difference.
“Right now, there are almost 3.5m people living with cancer in the UK. Everyone deserves the best possible care, but too many people aren’t receiving it. Better is possible, and it takes all of us for fairer cancer care. So, whether you raise a little or a lot, every single Coffee Morning takes us one step closer to better care, so that everyone with cancer gets the support they need, no matter who they are or where they live.”
Supporting the initiative, Adele Roberts, Broadcaster and DJ said: “Cancer affects so many of us and having moments of genuine connection with the people who lift you up means the absolute world. Taking a breather to pause, share a brew, and check in with someone you love is so powerful. I’m thrilled to support Lindt and Macmillan’s partnership – make sure you grab a loved one, head to a Lindt store, and Pause for a good cause this Coffee Morning.”
People can also support Macmillan Coffee Morning by hosting their own get-together throughout September. Lindt is offering 30% off all Choco Wafer boxed products at Lindt Chocolate Shops and on Lindt.co.uk until September 30.
