Dubliners are being encouraged to host a coffee morning to help raise vital funds for their local hospice.
Now in its 27th year, Ireland’s Biggest Coffee Morning for Hospice Together with Bewley’s is encouraging people to invite their friends and family for a coffee morning on September 19 to raise a much needed €2 million for hospices across the country.
If you want to register to host a coffee morning, you can check out their website or call 1890 998 995.
Pat Quinlan, Chair of the Voluntary Hospice Group said: “The demands on specialist hospice in-patient and community services around Ireland are growing each year and as always we, as providers, want to be able to deliver high quality and responsive services.
“The money raised through Ireland’s Biggest Coffee Morning for Hospice Together with Bewley’s is crucial in ensuring that we continue to meet each individual patient’s needs and to support their families and loved ones at a most difficult time in their lives.
“The success of the campaign over the last 27 years is thanks to the incredible generosity of our many supporters, including our dedicated coffee morning hosts, guests, ambassadors and our long-time sponsor Bewley’s.
"Indeed, we could not do what we do without this ongoing financial support."
Those who can’t attend a coffee morning can simply text COFFEE to 50300 and donate €4 to support local hospice and homecare services and help to give patients the best quality of life during their illness.
Jason Doyle, Managing Director at Bewley’s said, “It’s been a privilege for Bewley’s to lend its support as sole sponsor for Ireland’s Biggest Coffee Morning for Hospice for the past 27 years.
Community and people are at the heart of Bewley’s and caring for people in the local community is what hospice services are all about.
“Our connection to hospice is a perfect fit with the ethos of our company and we are delighted to be involved once again with this important fundraising event for Hospice.’’
