Cancer Society issues urgent appeal for Daffodil Day organisers in Dungarvan
Volunteers on Daffodil Day 2024, the charity is looking for volunteers again this year.
The Irish Cancer Society has issued an urgent appeal for volunteer organisers in Dungarvan for Daffodil Day in March.
Dungarvan residents with a strong connection to their local community are encouraged to volunteer to coordinate fundraising activities on March 28, 2025.
"Daffodil Day will see people across the country conduct street sales and shake buckets to raise funds for the Irish Cancer Society and give hope to cancer patients and their families," the charity said as it prepares to run its annual cancer fundraiser.
"The Irish Cancer Society typically receives only 5% of its income from the Government, so it's thanks to the generosity of our wonderful donors, fundraisers, and volunteers that we can provide services and support to ensure nobody in Ireland has to face cancer alone," the charity said.
Donations from the public will fund cancer research and support services for people around the county affected by cancer, while also ensuring that free information and support is available for those affected by the disease.
“We have an amazing group of volunteers who are always eager to support Daffodil Day," Community Organiser Siobhan Connaghan said, "They show up with smiles on their faces, regardless of the weather, and spend a little time chatting or listening to stories.
“Cancer impacts so many people, so knowing this small act of giving my time to support Daffodil Day and the services the Irish Cancer Society provides can make a significant difference to someone on a cancer journey in our community, makes it very worthwhile. I feel privileged to be part of Daffodil Day and to contribute to such a great cause, even in my small way."
"We are open to all applications we receive but are particularly interested in setting up Daffodil Day activities in Dungarvan, Co. Waterford," Mary Quinn, Irish Cancer Society Volunteer Manager said.
“We want people to get involved and take a lead in organising fundraising activities for Daffodil Day in March 2025 in their local community with their own team of volunteers, family and friends."
