People in Galway heard tips on how to centre wellness in their lives during an expert-led event as part of Bewley’s Big Coffee Morning for Hospice fundraising campaign.
The Bewley’s Wellness Breakfast, described as ‘an inspiring panel discussion’, took place in Galway Bay Hotel on Monday to raise awareness for Galway Hospice and others.

The panel discussion explored themes of wellness, resilience and the power of community.
Leading lifestyle editor and wellness advocate, Melanie Morris, moderated an expert panel at the breakfast event, which included 30-year-old breast cancer survivor and content creator Carly Mahady, Irish mother, storyteller and advocate Roseanna Ruane and Galway-based author Amber Doyle.
“Wellness is all about holistic health and can be incorporated into life individually and collectively,” said Ms Morris.
“Modern life can be very hectic and – even when we stop rushing around – our dependence on technology means we rarely give our brains a rest.
“In addition to reflecting on the vital work that Hospice provides in our communities, we discussed how we can each make wellness part of our daily routine.”
The event was part of Bewley’s Big Coffee Morning for Hospice, a wider movement to raise funds for Together for Hospice.
“The Bewley’s Wellness Breakfast in Galway Bay Hotel builds on the idea of the traditional coffee morning with some special additions that helped us to explore how we can take care of ourselves and each other,” said Catherine Casserly, Marketing Director of Bewley’s.
“It felt fitting to celebrate our 33rd year of this meaningful partnership with Hospice with an event centred on connections, conversation and community.
“We hope people came away from this event feeling restored, imbued with a bit more knowledge and – most importantly – having raised awareness for a very worthy cause.”
