Mayo Cancer Support Association was formed in August 1999 by a group of volunteers who recognised the need for the service through personal experience and working with persons diagnosed with cancer. Rock Rose House is a drop in Centre in Casltebar for people diagnosed with cancer, their families and friends.
Aims of the Centre:
To offer emotional support and practical help to people with cancer, their family and friends.
To lessen the fear associated with the word cancer.
To provide a “drop-in” centre where people with cancer may access support and information.
To ensure that the centre is open to all whose lives have been affected by cancer.
To continue to develop and meet the cancer related needs of the people of Mayo and the locality.
Having a parent that is affected by cancer can be particularly difficult for children, who may not understand everything that is going on and the implications of a condition such as cancer. Please support Mayo Cancer Support.
