This is the 34th year of coffee mornings, taking place countywide and nationwide on Thursday, September 24. More than €48 million has been raised nationwide, supporting hospices and palliative care services in communities right across the country.
Kerry Hospice is hugely grateful to everyone who has supported the Coffee Morning over the years and every euro raised in Kerry stays in Kerry, helping them provide and develop vital palliative care services and facilities.

Some of the venues in the Tralee area hosting coffee mornings are Kellihers Agri in Ballymullen from 9am to 12 noon; Ballygarry Estate Hotel and Spa from 10am to 12noon and the Austin Stacks GAA Club at Connolly Park from 11am to 1pm.

This year is particularly significant for the Kerry Hospice Foundation, with major development works underway at the Palliative Care Unit in Tralee.
A new five-bed facility is well underway, with three beds hopefully opening later this year, alongside upgrades to existing facilities in both the Day Unit and Inpatient Unit.
With an overall investment of €6 million or more, the continued support is absolutely vital.
