Gort Cancer Support offers a confidential community based support service to anyone affected by a cancer diagnosis in the South Galway/North Clare areas. These services include Confidential Support, Counselling & Psychotherapy, Complementary Therapies, Financial Assistance and Transport Service.
Gort Cancer Support was established in June 2007 to provide
support and practical assistance to people affected by a cancer diagnosis. Our
Cancer Support Centre is managed and operated by trained volunteers with the
assistance of administrative staff and professional therapists.
We adopt a holistic approach towards our clients and their
family by providing a range of activities and social events, which will enhance
our clients' wellbeing and coping skills. We offer a home from home
environment, a place where you will be made feel relaxed and welcome.
Funds donated to Gort Cancer Support are used exclusively
to finance supportive services to people affected by cancer in our
community. Your donations provide Counselling & Psychotherapy,
Complementary Therapies and Transport Service (a driving service to those
who are unable to provide their own travel arrangements to hospital for
radiotherapy and chemotherapy). We also provide a range of social activities
such as Tai Chi, Art and Yoga. All services are free of charge to our
clients.
