A kind-hearted Dublin great-granny celebrated three decades of hosting coffee mornings to fundraise for her local hospice.
Stephanie Graham revealed how she raised a whopping €5,000 after she was forced to move the event to her Terenure garden during the Covid-19 pandemic. Today, on the 30th anniversary of the fundraiser, Stephanie spoke of how she started the coffee mornings with her close friend Joan Merrigan after a family friend moved to Our Lady’s Hospice & Care Services in Harold’s Cross for palliative care.
She said: "I was around the Hospice so often that I was asked by one of the staff to help with fundraising and that is how it all began. My coffee mornings began as very small affairs, raising £200. We thought we were great when we went on to raise £500."
