SUPPORT is expected to pour in for Ireland’s Biggest Coffee Morning, in aid of the Hospice, which will take place on Thursday September 19.
Bewley’s is the long-standing supporter of the fundraising event, providing complimentary fresh ground coffee packs to all coffee morning hosts.
Over the past two decades, people have consumed 15 million cups of Bewley’s coffee and raised an estimated
?¬30 million for hospice care.
On September 19, people in workplaces, homes and local organisations across Ireland are being asked to hold a coffee morning and to collect
?¬2 for each cup of Bewley’s fresh coffee consumed.
All money raised locally stays locally and goes directly back to fund local Hospice care services.
St Francis Hospice have launched their appeal ahead of the big event.
Ethel McKenna, chief executive of St Francis Hospice, said:
“We hope to raise our repayments of the Capital Department for St Francis Hospice Blanchardstown to
?¬1 million this year, which currently stands at
?¬7.9 million.
“Much needed donations would help us greatly in maintaining our services, which currently require
?¬2.8 million annually from fundraising in addition to our allocation from the HSE.
