In 2026 alone, an estimated 44,000 people will receive a cancer diagnosis in Ireland. 

The Irish Cancer Society typically receives only 5% of its income from the Government, so they rely on the public’s generosity to provide their vital free services and support to ensure nobody in Ireland faces cancer alone. 

Your generosity on Daffodil Day also funds groundbreaking cancer research & trials, throughout Ireland.

Longford Daffodil Day Coordinator Noeleen McTaggart explained, “We will be present in all villages and towns on Friday, March 20 and in Longford Town on Saturday, March 21. We are encouraging businesses, schools and groups to partake and organise their own fundraiser in support. 

“In the last three years we have raised €66,000  in Longford alone due to  the amazing generosity of the Longford people.

“We have a team of very dedicated volunteers who often brave the elements to raise as much money as possible for this vital charity. We hope this year will be bigger and better with all your support.”
