West Clare Cancer Centre

West Clare Cancer Centre is a community-driven organisation supporting people affected by cancer in the West Clare region of Ireland. Funded through donations, fundraising and community support, it provides practical and emotional assistance to patients and their families. Its services include professional counselling for patients and family members, complementary therapies, and palliative aids for use at home. The centre also supports palliative care units at Regina House in Kilrush and Ennistymon Community Hospital.

A dedicated taxi service helps cancer patients travel safely to and from medical appointments, easing the stress and practical challenges of accessing care. The centre’s work is sustained in part by its annual West Clare Mini Marathon, a long-running community event that raises funds and brings local people together. It also shares news and information about events supporting its services and invites individuals to contribute through donations. By offering care and assistance rooted in local solidarity, West Clare Cancer Centre aims to help patients and families feel supported through difficult times.
