The Irish Cancer Society is expanding free cancer counselling across Ireland in 2025–2026, funded by public donations, with Daffodil Day on March 20 supporting one session per €60 raised.

The Irish Cancer Society is expanding free counselling services across Ireland in 2025 and 2026, funding hundreds of sessions through grants to local support centres in Offaly, Sligo, Mayo, Longford Westmeath, Louth, Meath, and Laois. These services, available to patients, survivors, and families, include mental health support, complementary therapies, support groups, and survivorship programmes. The society delivered nearly 13,000 counselling sessions nationwide in 2025 through 24 local centres and remote services. It emphasizes the emotional toll of cancer and relies on public donations, urging support during Daffodil Day on March 20, when every €60 raised funds one free session.
