We are pleased to have secured land in the beautiful location of Cong in Co. Mayo which will uniquely offer more families the opportunity to spend quality time together in a safe and supportive environment.

When a child is diagnosed with cancer, life changes for the whole family. Our therapeutic services help each family member cope with the emotional impact of cancer and allows them to simply be a family again.

The need for another therapeutic short break centre is massive. Currently, we can only provide one in seven families from across the Island of Ireland with a therapeutic short break. At any one time there is a waiting list of over 50 families waiting to come to Daisy Lodge in Newcastle, Co. Down.

Our second Daisy Lodge, Co. Mayo will allow us to increase the number of children and parents in Ireland we support each year from 1,800 to 4,000.

"At times, it can feel like there is no escape from cancer. Everyone in the family is worried constantly, so to have a space like Daisy Lodge where you only have to worry about relaxing, having fun together and making memories is so important.

It gives families like ours a chance to reconnect in a positive way and for siblings of children with cancer, it’s important that they see Mam and Dad relax." - Mum of a young person diagnosed with cancer.
