The Annual Dublin Fundraising lunch will take place on Friday 4th September 2026 at the luxurious St. Helen’s Hotel in Stillorgan. The event will begin at 12:30pm with a prosecco reception followed by a 4 course lunch with wine and an auction and raffle with incredible prizes.

We are delighted to announce that the wonderful Miriam O’Callaghan will be our MC for the day. Miriam has been a great supporter of HOPE over the years and we are incredibly grateful that she will join us again on this occasion.

Entertainment on the day will be provided by the phenomenal Mary Byrne and “Frankly, My Dear”.

Special guest, and judge for our Best Dressed competition, will be renowned fashion stylist and broadcaster Marietta Doran.

The HOPE Dublin Lunch is one of the flagship events in our fundraising calendar – both raising awareness about the work of HOPE in Kolkata and raising much needed funds.

We very much look forward to welcoming you to our lunch where you will be assisting HOPE to fulfil our vision of “A world where it should never hurt to be a child”. HOPE’s programmes directly support the most vulnerable street and slum connected children and communities in Kolkata, and all of the proceeds from this event will go directly towards ensuring the continuation of these programmes.
