Connect with us and make a real difference in the life of those in need.

GET INVOLVED

Your generosity makes our work possible whether you contribute financially or as an advocate for good.

Support IS EVERYTHING

Our Centre aims to address the needs of its clients, whatever those needs may be. We can achieve this because many of our volunteers have been through similar experiences and as a result are empathetic to those currently battling with cancer.

WE ARE HERE TO HELP!

East Galway & Midlands Cancer Support, formed in 2012, is a non-profit charitable organisation which provides a network of psychological, emotional and practical support for those diagnosed with cancer.

We have multiple Counsellors, as well as therapists specialising in complementary treatments working with us on a day-to-day basis. Our centre would not exist without the commitment and dedication of our staff and amazing volunteers.

The number of people attending weekly has now reached 200+. All the support we offer is free of charge. We have also become a member of the European Cancer Patient Coalition (ECPC) which gives us both a political and medical voice in Europe. We provide a full-time drop-in Centre as well as a 24-hour phone service.
