Virtual Coffee Morning

Just because we can’t get together and meet face-to-face, doesn’t mean that we can’t come get together virtualHow to Host – info pagely to support this year’s Hospice Coffee Morning Together with Bewley’s to raise much needed funds for palliative care services.

To host a successful virtual coffee morning, you can follow these steps:

• Register: Complete the form below to register your coffee morning with us and we will arrange to send you out a complete host pack.

• Create a giving page: Set up a fundraising page on I-donate.ie or JustGiving.com and ask your family and friends to donate to this ahead of your event.

• Choose your platform: There are plenty to choose from including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, HouseParty and WhatsApp.

• Invite your guests: A coffee morning is nothing without good company! Advertising it on your social media platforms with a link to your giving page is a great way to spread the word and gather support for your fundraiser, people will also be able to donate directly to your giving page. A virtual coffee morning has no restrictions on travel abilities or limitations on how many guests can attend. It could be two of your besties from down the road or 200 guests from across the world! Spread the word early and get the date in peoples’ diaries.

• You are ready to go!  Grab your favorite cup, snuggle up and get ready for a belly full of laughs with good friends. All while raising money for a great cause.

Physical Socially Distanced Coffee Morning

If you decide to host a physical coffee morning we have outlined some recommendations below to help you to host your coffee morning in a safe and compliant way, keeping the safety of you and your guest’s paramount whilst still enjoying a cuppa for a good cause!

• Host your coffee morning in an outdoor setting – Think garden parties, picnics in the park, or themos flasks on the beach.

• Invite small groups – limit your contact

• Ensure you have all the guests contact details (in case of need for contact tracing)

• Keep your two-metre distance

• Face coverings are recommended

• Maintain good sanitation practices, this includes you and your guests regularly washing hands or where soap and water isn’t available using hand sanitiser
