Communities in Cork are being called onto come together this month for the 30th Bewley's Big Coffee Morning Social for Hospice.
Cork people are encouraged to host a coffee morning and raise vital funds for Marymount University Hospital and Hospice.
Sarah McCloskey, CEO of Marymount University Hospital and Hospice said:
“We are delighted Bewley’s Big Coffee Morning Social for Hospice is back for another year raising funds in support of Hospice in-patient and community services around Ireland. The ongoing support for this campaign over the last 30 years is a testament to the generosity of our coffee morning hosts, donors, ambassadors, and our long-time sponsor Bewley’s. The funds raised each year by the Irish public ensure we continue to provide vital support to individual patients and their families every day.”
Brendan Gleeson has also called on people to donate in a bid to raise €1.5million nationwide for “life affirming” Hospice services across Ireland.
The Hollywood star launched the 30th Bewley’s Big Coffee Morning Social for Hospice which has raised over €41.5 million since its inception, joining Hospice hosts and volunteers at the iconic Bewley’s café on Grafton Street.
