Community organisers urgently needed in this Tipperary town for Daffodil Day
Daffodil Day takes place across the country on March 28
The Irish Cancer Society is urgently seeking volunteer Community Organisers to bring Daffodil Day to Thurles on Friday March 28.
The charity is seeking people with good contacts and a strong connection to their local community who would be willing to coordinate fundraising activities on that date.
Daffodil Day will see people across the country conduct street sales and shake buckets to raise funds for the Irish Cancer Society and give hope to cancer patients and their families.
It is estimated that across Ireland, in excess of 10,000 people volunteer their time each year to help support Daffodil Day in their community. Recruiting, coordinating and managing these volunteers, and the delivery of local Daffodil Day street sales, requires the support of local organisers to make it a success.
The Irish Cancer Society typically receives only 5% of its income from the Government, so it’s thanks to the generosity of its wonderful donors, fundraisers and volunteers that it can provide services and support to ensure nobody in Ireland has to face cancer alone.
The public’s generous donations on the day will fund cancer research and support services for people around the county affected by cancer. The funds raised will help to deliver free information, support and care to people affected by cancer across Ireland.
