The Big Picnic - 1-15 July 2008

Good food, great fun, fresh air and a chance to catch up with friends and family – what better way is there to spend a summer day than with a picnic?

The Big Picnic is an exciting new Macmillan event. We are working in partnership with Somerfield to help raise much needed funds to support people affected by cancer across the UK.

It's simple – all you have to do is pick a date between 1-15 July, decide where to hold your picnic and invite your friends and family along.

We'll give you lots of tips to help make your picnic a success, and you can save on lots of picnic items in your local Somerfield store.

Every day 780 people in the UK are diagnosed with cancer. Macmillan's ambition is to reach and improve the lives of everyone living with cancer by 2010.

We can only currently afford to help one in four people living with cancer. By raising money through your picnic, you'll help us take a big step towards meeting this ambition.
