Coffee and cake for a good cause
Jamie Oliver might think the nation can't cook but let me tell you, we certainly can bake! I went to some of the Macmillan Coffee Mornings being held around our area this morning and there were some great cakes to have with your cup of coffee, fundraisers had clearly made a huge effort and the coffee mornings I went to were well attended so the effort seemed to have paid off. A beautifully detailed iced cake being raffled at the hospital was really a work of art!

DELGA Chair Jen Yockney says, "the reports offer a brighter hope for tackling HIV in the future but remind us of the need for work on sexual health now. As budgets are being cut in so many sectors, cutting sexual health spending today is a false economy that stores up far bigger problems for the future."
