As part of the nationwide Bewley’s Big Coffee Morning for Hospice, Milford Care Centre proudly hosted its own Coffee Morning on September 25.

The event took place in the Milford Restaurant and brought together guests, service users, volunteers, residents and staff for a wonderful morning of entertainment, conversation and community togetherness.

Across the Midwest region, Coffee Morning hosts were brewing and baking, giving so selflessly of their time and energy to support the incredible and often unseen work that hospices nationwide carry out every day.

Speaking at the Coffee Morning, Mary O’Brien, Chief Executive Officer of Milford Care Centre, expressed her gratitude, “We are so grateful to each and every host, and to all who attend and contribute to the Coffee Mornings, which are taking place in households, companies, schools, and community centres, all contributing, to raise funds in support of the services we provide.

“It is incredible to witness such generosity, a cup of coffee can make a big difference. If anyone is still considering hosting a Coffee Morning later this month, there is still time to do so.”

A highlight of the morning was the Star Baker competition, where staff showcased their baking talents in an impressive display of cakes and treats.
