Speaking about the upcoming Hospice Sunflower Days on-street collection, Mary Murphy, Offaly Hospice Foundation, said: “With just a few days to go until our on-street collection from Thursday, June 11th–Saturday June 13th2026 for the 36th year of the campaign we are calling on the public to support Offaly Hospice Foundation by purchasing some sunflower merchandise from our volunteers to help us raise vital funds.
“There is also the opportunity once again for the public to donate online via the website, www.sunflowerdays.ie, with 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 and as our 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 Offaly Hospice Foundation by donating to the on-street volunteers on Thursday, June 11th, Friday, June 12th and Saturday, June 13th 2026 or by donating online via the website, www.sunflowerdays.ie .
