Today we are thrilled to announce our new partnership with the lrish Hospice Foundation supporting its new Bereavement Support Line. Our Tea has been referred to as a "Hug in a Mug" we hope our Tea and the IHF Bereavement Support Line offers comfort and reassurance.
Many people have experienced or will experience the death of someone close during these exceptional circumstances. It may be a COVID-related death, a death from other causes, or a previous bereavement that you are finding more difficult at this time.
Irish Hospice Foundation launched this service in June 2020 as a response to the pandemic, and to support the many people grieving in isolation.
Having the Bereavement Support Line number displayed on this new Master Blend product means that more people who need the service will know of its availability. Apart from the awareness raised, with every purchase, Irish Hospice Foundation will receive a 10 cents donation towards the Line
Tea is known for its calming and reassuring qualities, and IHF Bereavement Support Line offers that comfort and reassurance to hundreds of bereaved people in the country.
“We're delighted to partner up with Irish Hospice Foundation to raise awareness for a crucial service, the IHF Bereavement Support Line. We are happy to share that for every purchase of our Loose-Leaf Master Blend tea we will donate 10 cents towards this vital service. We also encourage people in Louth who are dealing with bereavement and finding it particularly difficult in these exceptional times to call the line. You will receive the support and comfort that you deserve." Helen & Donal McEntee.
Irish Hospice Foundation Bereavement Support Line is a national freephone service on 1800 80 70 77 available 10am to 1pm, Monday to Friday. Many people have experienced and will experience the death of someone close during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the face of such loss, the IHF Bereavement Support Line, in partnership with the HSE, is there to provide connection, comfort and support in these exceptional times.
Helen McVeigh, Director of Fundraising for Irish Hospice Foundation, said: "We're delighted with this partnership which will raise awareness and funds towards our vital service the IHF Bereavement Support Line.
