Central Park Nursing Home in Clonberne was delighted to mark a truly special and successful Daffodil Day.
A special and successful Daffodil Day was marked at Central Park Nursing Home in Clonberne celebrating community spirit while raising vital funds for cancer support services.
Daffodil Day plays a crucial role in funding essential services for cancer patients and their families, including research, patient care, transport services, and support programmes that make a real difference in people’s lives.
Sincere gratitude to the management of Central Park Nursing Home for their generous donation of 3,000 daffodil bulbs. These were lovingly planted last October on the grounds of the nursing home in memory of all those affected by or lost to cancer. The beautiful blooms, along with additional donated daffodils, formed the heart of fundraising efforts on the day.
The event itself was filled with warmth, generosity, and a strong sense of community. Some of staff members volunteered to have their heads and beards trimmed, helping to raise much-needed funds in a fun and meaningful way. Guests enjoyed tea and coffee, accompanied by a selection of delicious home baking.
Thanks to the staff for their dedication and enthusiasm, as well as the members of the Women’s Activities Group in Clonberne for their valued support on the day. Thanks to everyone who contributed, including staff, residents, visitors, and members of the wider community.
Thanks to this collective effort, more than €2,800 was raised for this very worthy cause.
This wonderful day highlighted the power of community and compassion, and all at Central park Hursing Home are proud to have played a part in supporting such an important charity.
