Carraig Donn x Cancer Fund for Children
Carraig Donn is thrilled to announce a new charity partnership with Cancer Fund for Children for 2026, committing to raise significant funds throughout the year to support families affected by childhood cancer.
Cancer Fund for Children is currently developing a multimillion-euro therapeutic short break centre for families living with a childhood cancer diagnosis in Cong, Co. Mayo. The facility, to be known as Daisy Lodge, will be the second of its kind. Families from across the island currently avail of short breaks at Daisy Lodge in Newcastle, Co. Down.
Daisy Lodge will provide families with the opportunity to spend precious time together and create lasting memories away from the challenges of treatment and hospital visits. Due to open in Spring 2027, the centre will increase the number of children and parents supported every year with a short break from 1,800 to 4,000.
The charity also provides support in family homes and within the community in every county across Ireland, as well as on hospital wards in Dublin and Belfast. This vital support helps ensure that no child has to face cancer alone, and it would not be possible without the support of local businesses and communities.
Carraig Donn is honoured to collaborate with the charity and support its mission to provide vital emotional and practical support for families during one of the most difficult times in their lives.
With 43 stores across Ireland and a thriving online platform at carraigdonn.com, Carraig Donn has become one of Ireland’s most recognisable retail brands. Known for its strong Irish heritage and exclusive range of modern fashion and lifestyle collections, the company remains deeply connected to communities throughout the country.
Pat Hughes, Group CEO of Carraig Donn, said the partnership reflects the company’s commitment to giving back. “Partnering with Cancer Fund for Children is a great honour for all of us at Carraig Donn. We are incredibly proud to support the vital work they do for families facing a childhood cancer diagnosis. Together with our dedicated teams across Ireland, we are committed to raising funds throughout the year to help make those precious family moments possible.”
