In the last year, cancer has touched the lives of people within the Green Isle Foods team. Colleagues have sadly lost family members to cancer, have family and friends fighting cancer and in some cases have survived cancer. To show our support for those impacted, we are challenging the Green Isle Foods team to walk, run or hike 100km in June and hopefully raise €10,000 for the Irish Cancer Society.

The Irish Cancer Society receives only 3% of its income from the Government, so it’s thanks to the generosity of our wonderful donors, fundraisers and volunteers that we are able to provide services and support to ensure nobody in Ireland has to face cancer alone.  Your generous donations fund cancer research and support services for people affected by cancer, throughout Ireland.  The funds raised by you and our many supporters help us to deliver free information, support and care to over 1.6 million people in Ireland affected by cancer in 2019 (2020 figures not available yet).

€20 can help provide support and information to a visitor at one of our Daffodil Centres.

€50 can help provide vital clinical equipment for a Night Nurse.

€60 will cover the cost of a counselling session to help a person cope with a cancer diagnosis in their life.

€120 can help provide five spill kits for Volunteer Drivers.

€350 will cover the cost of one night of Night Nursing, providing end of life care to a patient in their own home.
