Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation is delighted to announce a new partnership with FOXFORD and the Sunflower Children’s Hospice, the first children’s hospice to serve the Western Seaboard.

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. This includes favourite items such as their heirloom woven baby blankets, and the ever-popular Jellycat toys.

FOXFORD ships their children’s products worldwide, helping to share the message of Sunflower Children’s Hospice to a global audience.

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.

Joe Queenen, Managing Director of FOXFORD, said:

“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.”

Martina Jennings, CEO of Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation, said:

“FOXFORD has been a cornerstone of the Mayo community for over 130 years, and we are truly grateful that they have chosen to support the Sunflower Children’s Hospice for the next three years. Their generous commitment will make a real and lasting difference to the lives of children and families who rely on our care. We appreciate their partnership and their dedication to helping us continue our vital work.”
