Daffodil House: A Beacon of Hope

The Cancer Society's Daffodil House stands as a symbol of hope and support for those facing the challenges of cancer. Nestled in the heart of the community, Daffodil House serves as a vital resource and a home away from home for cancer patients and their families.

Daffodil House is more than just a physical building; it is a refuge for individuals undergoing cancer treatment far from their homes. Daffodil House offers a comfortable and supportive environment during their stay for those who must travel long distances to Dunedin to access specialised cancer care. It is a haven where patients can find solace, camaraderie, and understanding from fellow cancer warriors and caring staff.

In a moment of TAB bet triumph, one of the residents at Daffodil House joyfully shouted 'Fish and Chips' after winning a FIFA match at the TAB! It's heartwarming to see the spirit of togetherness and support at Daffodil House.

Daffodil Day, the Cancer Society's largest annual fundraising event, is crucial in supporting the operations and maintenance of Daffodil House. The funds raised on this special day allow the Cancer Society to offer free accommodation and support at Daffodil House.

Daffodil House is a testament to the unwavering commitment of the Cancer Society to stand alongside those impacted by cancer. On Daffodil Day, let us unite to support Daffodil House and all those battling cancer, spread hope, and foster a community that cares. Together, we can make a meaningful difference and bring a brighter tomorrow to those who most need it.
