Ballivor Coffee Morning

A coffee morning was held for SOFT in the Community Centre in Ballivor by Hazel Doyle and friends.

This was an ideal event on good day Saturday, at a good time 11am to 1pm, for a nice duration of two hours, at good location in the community centre, in a good room beside the kitchen, with a good mixture of friends and associates, with a great selection of cakes and buns with SOFT on them that was well appreciated, on top of that plenty of tea and coffee and even a mocha or two. Why was the coffee as good as Starbucks or Costa? Because it was local!.

We even had a raffle with lots of tickets sold and lots of prizes won that were donated by the community.

This is how a small idea can develop into a big event!

Thanks to Hazel and Company for organising this event and inviting us all to it.

I will say no more!

Hazel Doyle is organising a Coffee Morning for SOFT in memory of her daughter Elizabeth still born in 1999 with Edwards’ Syndrome Trisomy 18.

The Coffee Morning will be in Ballivor Community Centre in Co. Meath on Sat17 February 2024 11am to 1pm and all are welcome. If you can or can’t make it you can still donate on this campaign here..

Let’s spread the generosity around Sat 17 February 2024 and make it a GIVING Saturday.

SOFT Ireland is appealing to the General Public for a small donation to help us continue our work. Fundraising and donations are our main source of income and that is very challenging in these difficult times. Let’s spread the generosity and we will keep it featured on an ongoing basis just in case you forget or didn’t get a chance.
