MONEY was flying over the coffee table when Russells Hall Hospital held a special event to help raise cash for Macmillan Cancer Support.

The fundraising coffee morning raised more than £700 for the national event.

Patients, visitors and staff all joined in the fun with Interserve donating 50p for every cup of tea or coffee purchased.

Event organiser Sara Hiam said "The money we raised from the event will really make a difference to patients here in Dudley."

It is predicted that 50,000 coffee mornings were held across the UK for the event.
