On the scale of charity endeavours, coffee mornings are considerably more pleasurable than, say, running a marathon, writes Davin O'Dwyer
This year's annual Ireland's Biggest Coffee Morning takes place all over the country on Thursday to raise funds for the Irish Hospice Foundation. With the ethos that "money raised locally stays local", your nearest hospice service will benefit from your shot of caffeine.
You can host your own coffee morning at home, at school or in the office - just call 1850-660606 to get your free Bewley's "Coffee and Sponsorship Pack", and ask everyone to donate €2 per cup of coffee. Alternatively, you can call to Our Lady's Hospice or Blackrock Hospice restaurants from 10am until 2pm and enjoy theirs.
