SEP
24

Ireland’s Biggest Coffee Morning for Hospice takes place on Thursday 24th September 2026.

We are calling on people right across Mayo and Roscommon to host a Coffee Morning in your home or workplace to raise vital funds for palliative care services in the two counties.

You can register to host a coffee morning on Thursday, September 24 (or on a date that suits you), by completing the form below, calling 094 93 88666 or emailing info@hospice.ie and we will get your Free Host Pack out to you.

One of the country’s biggest fundraisers, it has generated €48.8million for Hospice care in Ireland since 1992.

“We are so lucky to have such caring hospice staff right across Ireland,” said Laura Fox, 2FM presenter. “If people can host a coffee morning, attend a relative or friend’s event, or donate, it will make a huge difference to the incredible work they carry out every day, caring for patients.”

Eileen Dunne, who is a board director at St. Francis Hospice in Dublin, said hospices give patients and their families ‘an outstanding level’ of care, dignity and compassion.“ Every cent raised locally in fundraisers such as these coffee mornings stays in local hospices, so hosts and supporters can be guaranteed it is used for the benefit of the community,” she said.

Martina Jennings, CEO of Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation, said: “Ireland’s Biggest Coffee Morning for Hospice, one of our longest and most-loved fundraisers, is now in its 34th year raising funds for hospice in-patient and community services around Ireland. We are asking everyone to support hospices nationwide, by hosting a coffee morning or donating what you can at an event or online. This support is invaluable and funds vital services and quality initiatives, greatly improving care for patients with life-limiting illness.”

Anne Lyons has been hosting a Coffee Morning for Mayo Roscommon Hospice for over 12 years, bringing neighbours together over a cuppa and a chat. In her words – “It’s just open up your home, invite people, put it out there… The Hospice will give you your posters and your coffee. People aren’t coming for the food – it’s not a major thing. People are coming for the chitchat. It’s a small thing, but it means a lot.”
