Buzzin': Cork coffee company gets on board for Bumbleance coffee morning campaign

The national children's ambulance service is asking communities to host fundraising coffee mornings - and Velo Coffee Roasters are in the saddle to help out with a huge donation

L-R: Aine Phelan (Waterford based BUMBLEance driver); Heather Rainey (Head of Communication and Fundraising); Edel Twomey (Online Officer); Aislinn Muckian (Fundraising and Engagement)

Since its establishment in 2013, childrens' ambulance service BUMBLEance has been providing transportation and medical assistance services in a fun, safe and comfy way for children affected by serious and life-limiting conditions to travel to hospitals, hospices and treatment/respite centres around the country - getting their 12th ambulance on the road last year.

The service is completely free for the young people and families that use it - but like anything else, it costs money to run, and a new fundraising campaign is set to help them top-up their honey pot.
