A REMOTE beach in Pembrokeshire provided the perfect canvas for Macmillan in Wales to promote registrations for its World’s Biggest Coffee Morning event.

The charity, which supports people affected by cancer, asked land artist Marc Treanor to bring his unique creative flair to the coffee morning logo.

The secluded Traeth Llyfn beach between between Porthgain and Abereiddy proved to be the ideal location.

Susan Morris, Head of Services for Macmillan in Wales said: “We thought it would be appropriate to make the logo as big as the event!

“Last year in Wales there were over 12,500 registrations to hold coffee morning for Macmillan.

“ We’re grateful that people give their time to support our work and really hope that 2016 proves as popular.

“The money raised helps to pay for Macmillan professionals working in Wales to help people affected by cancer including our specialist cancer nurses, welfare benefits advisers, speech therapists, physiotherapists and dietitians.”

Marc said: "I‘m particularly happy to be involved in this project as I have witnessed the incredible help that Macmillan Cancer Support offers to people affected by cancer and seen how nurturing this can be.

“I chose Traeth Llyfn near St Davids for its sweeping beauty and wide expansive sands. For all its majesty it also has the feel of being protected by the enormous cliffs that surround it. The literal translation is 'smooth beach' and this is why it is so good for this type of art.

“I hope that the Macmillan Coffee Morning logo will stand proud and resplendent, at least until the tide returns!”

This year, the 26th World’s Biggest Coffee Morning is due to take place on or over the weekend of 30 September.
