together we can do so much
About Sunflower Children's Hospital
The Sunflower Children’s Hospice will be the first dedicated children’s hospice west of the Shannon. Located in Castlebar, Co. Mayo, it will provide respite, comfort, and a safe space for families. A place where children can be cared for with dignity and families can find support, hope, and glimmers of joy.
shared values
FOXFORD was founded in 1892 by Mother Agnes who stood on a bridge in Foxford and contemplated a future with community and craftsmanship at its core. The woollen mill was established as a means of improving people’s lives and supporting this community. As a company with community at its core, FOXFORD is delighted to partner with a charity that will make such a profound difference to the people of the west of Ireland.
Our Commitment
As a part of this partnership, FOXFORD has committed to donating 10% of all online sales from their children’s range (toys, books, baby blankets etc) to the Sunflower Children’s Hospice for the next three years. That means, every time you choose to buy a children's gift from FOXFORD, you are supporting Sunflower Children's Hospice.
the vision
Create a legacy of love, compassion and excellence. The Sunflower Children's Hospice will ensure that no child or family faces their journey without support, dignity or care.
“We are very proud to support such an important initiative. Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation has an excellent track record and has planned a state-of-the-art facility for Castlebar which will alleviate stress for families and provide the care required. Commendably they have already raised over €7 million of their
€12-14 million goal through incredible community support and we are delighted
that we can contribute towards this. We are very excited to see this being
developed in our county this year”
Joe Queenen, Manageing Director, FOXford.
