A DORCHESTER restaurant is hosting community coffee mornings – and raising money for charity.

Luciano’s, in Brewery Square, is supporting Dorset County Hospital’s Greatest Need Appeal through its Monday morning coffee events.
Taking place every Monday from 9.30-11.30am, the mornings offer customers bottomless teas and coffees, as well as a range of cakes and bakes, for just £5 – with 50 per cent of the proceeds going to the hospital.
The Greatest Need Appeal is used by Dorset County Hospital to provide extra support where it is needed most – on wards and in specialist clinical units, and for the continuing enhancement of the hospital environment and facilities for staff and patients.
Restaurant general manager Kyle Hiener said: “I feel that with all the rising costs around us, our coffee morning Mondays give the local community a chance to get together and enjoy warm beverages and indulge in lovely cakes and bakes while supporting Dorset County Hospital Charity.
“We have chosen The Greatest Need Appeal to show our support to areas in the hospital that may not always get all the funding they need.
“We welcome everyone – families and large groups and, of course, we are dog friendly, so bring your furry friends as well. We offer gluten free and plant-based bakes and, of course, milk alternatives are available on request.”

The Monday coffee morning offer is open to everyone and no booking is required.
