The community is preparing to fill their cups for a significant cause as the annual East Coast FM Wicklow Wide Coffee Morning returns on Friday, April 24th. This county-wide event brings people together to raise essential funds for local cancer support services and the Wicklow Hospice.
Throughout the years, this initiative has remarkably raised in excess of half a million euros, exemplifying the extraordinary generosity and spirit of the local community.
Why Participation Matters
Every donation collected during the morning stays within the county. The funds provide a lifeline for two primary areas of care:
- Cancer Support Services: Ensuring that practical help, such as transport to hospital appointments and professional counselling, remains available for patients and families.
- The Wicklow Hospice: Supporting the specialist palliative care teams and facilities at Magheramore.
Where to Join the Event in Bray
The town serves as a focal point for the morning’s activities, with the event taking place at The Martello, Bray Seafront, which will feature live broadcasts, entertainment and guests.
How to Get Involved
There are several ways to show support for the initiative:
- Host a Morning: Many people choose to hold their own gatherings at home or at work. All proceeds from these private events go directly to the central fund.
- Donate Online: For those unable to visit a physical location, contributions can be made through the “Donate” button on the official East Coast FM website.
A Strong Community Tradition
The Wicklow Wide Coffee Morning is a staple of the local calendar, reflecting a commitment to supporting neighbours in times of need. Whether it is a quick coffee during a commute or a morning spent catching up with friends, every contribution helps ensure that no one in the community faces a difficult diagnosis without support.
The event takes place on Friday, April 24th. For further details, please visit eastcoast.fm/coffee-morning/.
