YOUR IMPACT
Your efforts can make a big impact
By Going All In this Daffodil Day you are helping to care for people affected by cancer across Ireland. Your support helps provide expert nurses on our Support Line and in our Daffodil Centres, free counselling, lifts to treatment, ground-breaking cancer research, funding to families facing a childhood cancer diagnosis and so much more. We're all in because you are.
Your generous support helps us provide...
Volunteer Transport Services
Every day over 1,200 volunteer drivers are on standby to bring cancer patients to treatment. In 2024, our drivers clocked up almost 2.3 million kilometres bringing over 2,200 patients to their live-saving appointments. But it's more than just a lift...It's peace of mind. It’s one less thing to worry about. It's a friendly face. Our volunteer drivers are all in to help cancer patients.

Early Detection Road Shows
Our Early Detection Roadshows visited 49 locations last year and met thousands of people in their community to talk about the signs and symptoms of cancer. Our nurses provided 1,863 health checks and met with 23,960 people in communities across the country. Every conversation has the potential to save lives, and you help make each one possible when you go all in on Daffodil Day.
Vital Cancer Research
Cancer research is the key to a better, more hopeful future. A future where 10 in 10 people survive cancer. Where fewer people get cancer in the first place, and those who do have access to better, kinder treatments and a better quality of life after cancer. Every year the Irish Cancer Society invests around €3.7m in innovative cancer research, empowering dozens of Irelands best and brightest to work on more than 100 research projects.

Specialist Cancer Nurses
A cancer diagnosis changes everything. We’re here to help. Our specialist cancer nurses are at the end of the phone, in your local hospital, in your community. Thanks to your support, generosity and commitment there’s support on hand for cancer patients when they need us most. But we can’t do it without you! Go all in this Daffodil Day, so we can be there for everyone that needs us.

ABOUT IRISH CANCER SOCIETY
Did you know?
The Irish Cancer Society typically receives only 5% of its income from the Government Government so days like Daffodil Day are what allow us to continue to be there for every child and adult affected by cancer in Ireland.
Together we won’t stop pushing for a better, more hopeful future. On Daffodil Day you turn Ireland yellow in support of everyone affected by cancer. Learn more about all of our services by visiting our website today.
