Pilgrims Hospice Coffee Morning
Having been involved with the fundraising team for the Pilgrim's Hospice for many years, it feels like I am one of the community rather than a guest. The monthly Coffee Morning is more than just fund raising. It is an opportunity for the team to regroup and socialise. I am delighted that the event is so well supported by the people of Folkestone and I am sure it will continue to be so.
