To take part all that’s needed is a church or community hall, or even your front room or garden, and a group of friends who aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in. ‘Coffee Morning’ is very loose term and can apply to Coffee Evenings, Afternoon Tea Parties, Cheese & Wine, and Cocktail Parties, and that the Fundraising Co-ordinators at the Hospice are on hand to help with publicity, and any advice you may need.
