SIR, — The Strangford and Ardglass NI Hospice Support Group would like to thank the Cuan, Strangford, for again sponsoring our annual big coffee break in aid of Hospice on Thursday, September 19.
A good turnout on the day led to the magnificent total of £811.62 being raised for this important charity through donations and the sale of raffle tickets. A further £250 in sales of NI Hospice Christmas Cards on the occasion added to the charity benefit.
The Support Group members want to thank all who attended and supported the coffee morning. We also give our special thanks to Peter and Caroline McErlean of the Cuan for again providing their wonderful facilities for the venue. We also thank the very welcoming and obliging staff of the Cuan and Johnny Breen of the NI Hospice fund-raising staff who attended and outlined his fund-raising duties. We were greatly pleased that a hospice staff nurse from the Ballynahinch team came and described the help they provide in patients’ homes in our area.
Yours etc,
RALPH FORBES
Hon Secretary.
