Staff at a tattoo parlour are set to host a coffee morning in a bid to raise much-needed funds for charity.

Ouch! Tattoo Parlour in Highbridge Street, Waltham Abbey, will join thousands of other businesses later this month to take part in 'The World's Biggest Coffee Morning'.

The Macmillan event, which has been running since 1990, will raise funds to support victims and families affected by cancer.

The coffee morning raised more than £25 million last year.

Staff at Ouch! are also selling raffle tickets for the event, which will take place at the shop on September 25, on their front desk.
