Public pour hearts into hospices’ coffee morning

HUNDREDS of thousands of people were sitting down to coffee across the country yesterday morning to raise money for the Irish Hospice Foundation.

Bewley’s coffee house on Dublin’s Grafton Street hosted the main event in aid of more than 7,500 people who benefit from hospice care annually.

It is estimated over half a million cups of coffee were poured in homes and workplaces all over Ireland in aid of the initiative.
