Why we do what we do

What we offer

Community Cancer Caregivers was initially established to help families in the North Kildare area, quickly we saw the need for our service throughout the country so now we now support families in all counties within the Republic of Ireland.

We aim to provide relief of financial & social hardships for these families by providing a no-cost caregiving and practical support services during periods of doctor appointments or convalescence.

We have a vision of a community where a parent diagnosed with cancer no longer feels isolated during a cancer diagnosis, but is supported in their community, by the community.

To ensure that families receive safe, compassionate, and confidential assistance by an engaged community of trained caregivers. Allowing the patient enough time to take care of themselves and focus on their treatment.

Community Cancer Caregivers matches a compassionate adult caregiver with a referred child.

Community Cancer Caregivers for Youth will setup five distinct services:

• Care for a child in their own home with a parent/guardian present
• Care for a child in their own home without a parent/guardian present
• Care for a child in a caregivers home
• Organised fun days out
• Collection and transport from school/home

We care for children aged 16 and under and provide safe, timely, compassionate support to families throughout a cancer diagnosis and treatment.
