Tenth anniversary celebrations at Daisy Lodge with coffee morning

29 May 2024

A PURPOSE-BUILT facility in Newcastle for children suffering from cancer will celebrate its 10th anniversary next month.

The Cancer Fund for Children will be hosting a special coffee morning at Daisy Lodge on Thursday, June 6, from 10am to 2pm.

Since opening Daisy Lodge, the charity has provided almost 4,000 families from across the island of Ireland with a therapeutic short break, giving them a space to reconnect and spend time together following a cancer diagnosis.

As well as this service, Cancer Fund for Children also provides emotional, social and therapeutic support in hospital and at the family home through their dedicated team of cancer support specialist.

The charity wishes to invite everyone in Newcastle and the wider community to join them to thank them for the incredible support they have given the charity across the last 10 years.

Raph O’Connor, residential services manager at Daisy Lodge, said: “We can’t believe that we’re coming up on the 10th birthday of Daisy Lodge and we’re so excited to mark this milestone by celebrating the community that has made it possible.

“From businesses to community groups and individuals, the support we have received and the generosity and kindness we have experienced has completely blown us away.

He added: “We think it’s only right to highlight that which is why we’re hosting this special coffee morning.”
