This is Aware’s annual largest fundraiser and lasts for 3 days each year. Our volunteers sell packs of daisy bulbs and daisy pins in local supermarkets and shopping centres around the country that have given us permission to collect. Each item costs €3, with 100% of the proceeds going to Aware.
When?
Mid-September each year: this year’s dates are Thursday 16th - Saturday 18th September.
Who can help?
We need thousands of volunteers across the country to help with this event, even if you can only spare two hours on one of the days. You can help even more by organising a rota of volunteers in your local area for one, two or three days - your local knowledge is vital so please help with your area rota if you can.
How do I volunteer?
Email fundraising@aware.ie now for more information. Give us your name, local area (or other convenient area where you can collect) and a contact telephone number. Please be specific when mentioning area names, e.g. Castlebar (Co Mayo), Blackrock (Co Dublin) or Dublin 17.
Can I really make a difference?
Your contribution to Daisy Days is essential – we simply can't do it without volunteers like you. Depending on the area, one volunteer can raise about €100-200 per hour and all of this goes directly to the work of Aware. We need you!
