This wonderful lunch is one of HOPE’s flagship annual events and an important fundraiser for the organisation. The 2018 lunch is very kindly sponsored by the O’Flynn Group and Horner APG. The funds raised will go to HOPE’s projects working with the street and slum children of Kolkata.
This year all at HOPE are very honoured to welcome household name Brendan Courtney as a special guest on the day. Brendan has been a long term supporter of HOPE and is asking for as many people as possible to come and join him at the beautiful Maryborough.

HOPE are doing fantastic work both in Kolkata and at home here in Ireland through the Transition Immersion Programme with our own young people in secondary schools. I would absolutely love for as many people as possible to join us for a brilliant Friday afternoon on September 21st”.
Experts from the worlds of fashion and beauty will be on hand and guests can enjoy browsing through the exhibition stands during the reception and take the opportunity to catch up with friends, both old and new.
