Together for Hospice, representing 26 hospices nationwide, are calling on the Irish public to host a socially distanced or virtual coffee morning on Thursday, September 24 to help raise vital funds for their local hospice.

The fundraising event has raised over €39 million since its inception in 1992 and it is hoped that this year’s events, whether held in small groups in homes or virtually with colleagues and friends, will raise much needed funds for hospices across Ireland, to meet growing demands for the services.

To register to host a coffee morning on Thursday 24 or on a date that suits you, go to  www.hospicecoffeemorning.ie or call 1890 998 995.
