Sunflower Days is taking place on Thursday, 6th and Friday 7th June.
The final countdown is now underway for Together for Hospice, The National Hospice Movement’s, Hospice Sunflower Days on-street collection for North West Hospice which is taking place on Thursday, 6th and Friday 7th June 2024.
Volunteers will be taking to the streets of Sligo, Leitrim and Donegal to sell sunflower merchandise to help raise vital funds for North West Hospice.
The public can also show their support for their chosen hospice or homecare service by dedicating a virtual sunflower online in memory of a loved one whilst making a donation and there is still time for schools to register to host a Sunflower FUN Day before the end of June. All details around the campaign can be found at www.sunflowerdays.ie

Hospice and specialist palliative homecare services 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.
They rely on funding raised through donations and fundraising campaigns, such as Hospice Sunflower Days, to help them to continue to provide this care and support.
Every euro raised locally, stays locally so by donating online or supporting the on-street collection you are really helping your local hospice or homecare service by allowing them to fund their hospice services, upgrade hospice or homecare facilities or purchase new equipment.
Speaking ahead of the 2024 Hospice Sunflower Days on-street collection, Olive McTague, Charity Manager, North West Hospice, said: “We are really looking forward to our upcoming on-street collection for Hospice Sunflower Days 2024 and we are calling on the public to help us make a real difference by donating to our volunteers on the 6th and 7th June. People can also show their support by donating what they can online and remember every euro raised locally, stays locally so your contribution will really help North West Hospice.”
You can support North West Hospice by donating to the on-street volunteers on Thursday, 6th or Friday, 7th June, or by dedicating a virtual sunflower today at www.sunflowerdays.ie
