Speaking about the upcoming Hospice Sunflower Days, Miriam O’Callaghan, Hospice Sunflower Days Ambassador, said, “With just a few days to go until this year’s 36th campaign, I would encourage everyone to help make a difference by purchasing some sunflower merchandise or by donating online via the website. All funds raised locally, stays locally so your support really does impact your local palliative care services.”
Speaking about the upcoming Hospice Sunflower Days collection, Mary O’Brien, CEO, Milford Care Centre, said, “In our 36th year of the campaign, we are calling on the public to support Milford Care Centre by purchasing sunflower merchandise from our volunteers to help us raise vital funds or please donate online via the website, www.sunflowerdays.ie. All funds raised going toward your chosen hospice or homecare service.”
Together for Hospice, The National Hospice Movement, represents 24 Hospice and specialist palliative homecare providers supporting patients and their families across Ireland. These services provide free-of-charge care and support to those living with a life-limiting illness, while also offering assistance to the patient’s family members.
Hospices nationwide need to raise approximately €20 million each year to provide their patient centred care. As the population ages, demand for specialist hospice and palliative homecare services continues to grow.
Fundraised income is used by local hospice services to fund new buildings, refurbishment of existing buildings, staff, extra comforts for patients and their families, and innovative patient care projects nationwide. Funds raised through Together for Hospice campaigns support some of the core services funded by the HSE. That is why fundraisers such as Hospice Sunflower Days are so important to hospices and homecare services throughout the country.
You can support Milford Care Centre by donating to the volunteers on Thursday, 11th June, Friday, 12th June and Saturday, 13th June 2026 or by donating online via the website.
