DAFFODIL DAY

Daffodil Day will take place on the March 23 and the local Enniscorthy Committee are calling for public support in advance of the day.

The flagship fundraising day of the Irish Cancer Society, Daffodil Day helps cancer patients at every stage of their cancer journey. From the point of diagnosis where cancer patients are given information and support by the Society’s Cancer Nurses on the Cancer Nurseline 1800 200 700 or in one of the 13 Daffodil Centres across the country, to being driven to and from chemotherapy treatment by the Society’s Volunteer Drivers, to receiving emotional support through the professional counselling service, Daffodil Day makes sure cancer patients can access these services free of charge when they need it most.

We are asking the local community to come out and support us as you have done over the last 27 years. We also need your help in providing fresh daffodils for our big fundraising day. Please drop your daffodils to the Legion of Mary Hall, Enniscorthy on Thursday evening March 22 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Every daffodil helps. Thank you for your continued support.
