NEW: North Tipperary Hospice urge public to support vital fundraisers across the county

North Tipperary Hospice have released a list of coffee mornings taking place right across the county which provide vital fundraising opportunities to keep their services open each year.

With locations in Nenagh and Thurles, the North Tipperary Hospice Movement strive to ensure that no one in the locality affected by cancer of a life threatening illness has to go through that journey alone.

They are also planning to open a third location in the county in Roscrea in the future.

North Tipperary Hospice released the following statement urging the public to get behind their fundraisers, as they need a minimum of €400,000 to keep their services open to the public each year.

"The Bewleys Coffee Mornings are one of the major fundraisers for Hospice," the statement read.

"We look forward to another successful season this year. We are most grateful to all our hostesses for their continued support and to the hundreds of people who turn out to support them so generously.

"Here in North Tipperary the season kicked off on Sunday September 21st with a well supported gathering in Birdhill and we will have a spate of similar events all over the county this week at various locations around Nenagh, Roscrea, Templemore and Thurles all of which will be advertised locally.
