Services

Community Cancer Caregivers (CCC) aims to provide local families in Ireland with a no cost childcare option within our community.

Our volunteer‘s role will be to care for children who are 16 years of age and under. Our service aims to provide a compassionate, confidential environment for families whose parent has been diagnosed with Cancer.

CCC hopes to reduce the financial strain of childcare costs on a family when they need support the most. CCC was set up in memory of our bright, beautiful best friend Suzanne Holligan. Suzanne was only 35 years old when she lost her battle with cancer. She chose to fight her battle alone and we were devastated when we got the call that she had passed away, we didn’t know she was sick. We would hate to think that another friend, neighbour or parent in our community, would go through this in silence.

We know cancer can place additional financial burden and stresses on families. We don’t want childcare to be one of those when we believe their are so many kind people in our community willing to help. You don't have to worry , we have a strict confidently agreement that will be enforced between our Volunteers and the families they are assisting.
