Hospice Sunflower Days returns later this month, with volunteers across the country preparing to take to the streets to raise much-needed funds for local hospice and palliative care services. 

Ahead of this year's campaign, Milford Care Centre has recognised one of its most dedicated supporters, naming John Higgins as its 2026 Hospice Hero in recognition of his many years of commitment to fundraising and volunteering on behalf of the hospice. 

To tell us more about the campaign, the importance of volunteers, and how the public can get involved, I'm joined now by Anne Marie Hayes, Fundraising Manager with Milford Care Centre.
