Fancy an alternative to a non-uniform day? Then add a splash of colour to the school day by holding your very own Daisy Day.

For a small donation to NICFC, pupils can wear an item of yellow clothing. It could be as simple as wearing a yellow scarf, hat or t-shirt. Pupils can go all out and wear yellow from head to toe.

There are lots of ways to add fun to your Daisy Day – you could whip up a batch of Daisy Day themed cupcakes and hold a cake sale or Hug in a Mug coffee morning.  Try our favourite recipe below for scrumptious Daisy Day cupcakes.
