Speaking on the upcoming coffee morning, Martina Jennings, CEO of Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation expressed her thrill at hosting one of the biggest fundraising events of the year.

“Thank you to Joe Queenan and Kathleen Flavin for hosting us and to Midwest Radio for the live broadcast. We’re looking forward to a great morning meeting people for a cuppa and a chat.”

As a part of FOXFORD’s partnership with the Sunflower Children’s Hospice, announced in February of this year, FOXFORD has committed to donating 10 percent of all online sales from their children’s range (toys, books, baby blankets etc) to the Sunflower Children’s Hospice for the next three years.

Sunflower Children’s Hospice, funded by Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation, will be the first children’s hospice to be built outside Dublin and the first of its kind to be constructed in Ireland since 2011. A site has already been secured in Castlebar, with the Government and HSE committed to supporting clinical governance.

FOXFORD was founded in 1892 by Mother Agnes who stood on a bridge in Foxford and contemplated a future with community and craftsmanship at its core.
