Throughout the pandemic, the Irish Cancer Society has continued to provide vital services and support to people affected by cancer, and to ensure nobody has to go through cancer alone. Because of the additional anxieties a cancer diagnosis during Covid brings, cancer patients need your support more than ever before.

During Covid, the Irish Cancer Society has:

• Introduced a remote counselling service to ensure cancer patients and their families have access to the care they need.
• Developed a covid and cancer information hub on our website, with regular updates for people who are cocooning.
• Provided 7,662 nights of night nursing to allow patients at the end of life to spend their final days surrounded by their loved ones.
• Continued being the voice of the cancer community to ensure cancer didn’t become ‘the forgotten C’ during Covid-19.
• Ensured cancer patients could get to their chemotherapy appointments safely with our volunteer driver service, which continued throughout lockdowns.

Daffodil Day 2021, kindly supported by Boots, takes place on Friday 26 March.

To get involved, visit cancer.ie where you can make a donation, visit our Daffodil Day shop, or to host a virtual Daffodil Day event.
