ABOUT US
Did you know?
Did you know? The Irish Cancer Society typically receives only 5% of its income from the Government so it is thanks to our amazing donors, fundraisers and volunteers that we are able to provide services and support that make sure that nobody in Ireland has to face cancer alone.
"Having someone to talk to and share with is a huge weight off your shoulders, there is always someone there to listen - you will never be fully alone. It’s so good to know those free resources are available when you need them.” – Counselling service user.
