Support Offaly Hospice through the 'Virtual Sunflower Remembrance Garden'

Support Offaly Hospice Foundation by donating online and dedicating a virtual sunflower in memory of a loved one.

The traditional Hospice Sunflower Days on-street collections took place in towns and villages throughout the country on June 9 and 10, where volunteers sold sunflower merchandise to help raise much needed funds for hospices and homecare services throughout Ireland.

Together for Hospice, The National Hospice Movement, is reminding the public that if you missed the volunteers, you can still support the campaign online by sponsoring a sunflower in memory of a loved one at https://www.togetherforhospice.ie/sunflowerdays with every euro raised locally staying locally. The ‘Virtual Sunflower Remembrance Garden’ remains open until June 30.

Hospices and homecare services rely heavily on fundraisers and donations from campaigns such as Hospice Sunflower Days to allow them to continue to provide specialist care and support to patients living with life-limiting illnesses, and their families.

Every euro raised locally, stays locally so by donating online before the end of June you can really make a difference and ensure that your local hospice or homecare services can continue to provide their vital services.

Sarah McCloskey, Governance Group Chair, Together for Hospice, The National Hospice Movement, commented: “We were delighted that so many people supported our traditional on-street collection earlier this month but there is still time for the public to support the Hospice Sunflower Days campaign by donating online and dedicating a virtual sunflower in memory of a loved one before the end of the month.”
