ARKLOW CANCER SUPPORT COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Arklow Cancer Support Company Limited by Guarantee is a charitable organisation that provides free, confidential emotional and practical assistance to anyone affected by a cancer diagnosis in Arklow and the surrounding area. Built on a foundation of confidentiality, understanding and an open‑door policy, the service is delivered entirely by dedicated volunteers and sustained by community donations and fundraising events.

The support network offers a wide range of specialist services, including transport to appointments, one‑to‑one counselling, specialised and complementary therapies, and play therapy for younger patients. In addition, the centre runs regular “Drop‑In Friday” sessions, social and fundraising events, and a calendar of activities designed to foster connection and resilience. Volunteers can also get involved by driving patients to treatment, helping with fundraising initiatives, or simply offering a listening ear.

By nurturing close‑knit relationships with both patients and volunteers, Arklow Cancer Support has become a trusted haven where individuals and families can find practical help, therapeutic options and a welcoming community during a challenging time.
