The 29th Milford Hospice annual Harvest Fair will take place Sunday the 31st of August at the UL arena. The fair will commence from 11am and run until 4pm.

Each year the fair raises much needed funds for the Milford Hospice. These funds allow the hospice to continue to provide much needed specialist palliative care services to areas covering Limerick, Clare and North Tipperary.

All of the services provided by Milford Hospice are delivered at the highest quality care. They rely immensely on the fundraising efforts of the public as well as the ongoing support of the annual Milford Hospice Harvest Fair. Last year alone Milford Hospice cared for close to 1,250 individual patients.

As well as this the care centre also have an Education, Research and Professional Development service that provides a range of palliative care and gerontology courses both in-house and on-line.
