West Clare Cancer Centre

The West Clare Cancer Centre is a community-driven initiative aimed at providing support and services for cancer patients in the West Clare region. When a cancer centre is not government-funded or affiliated with any specific cancer organization, it often relies heavily on community support, donations, and volunteers to operate and provide essential services to those in need.

Community-based cancer centers are pivotal in supporting cancer patients and their families through a range of services, with our taxi service playing an indispensable role in West Clare. Particularly for those confronting health challenges like cancer, we recognize the immense stress and logistical hurdles associated with medical appointments. Committed to providing dependable transportation solutions, and many in our community depend on us to pick them up from their homes and safely transport them to and from their medical appointments. We take pride in delivering a compassionate and punctual service, allowing our passengers to prioritize their health without transportation concerns. This centre also offers additional support, such as counselling and complementary therapies, bridging the gap in areas where government-funded healthcare services may be limited or inaccessible.

Our annual mini-marathon has been the cornerstone of our fundraising efforts, enabling us to sustain and expand our vital services. Despite facing numerous challenges over the years, the mini-marathon has persevered and continues to be held every year. This enduring community event not only raises crucial funds but also fosters a sense of unity and support within West Clare. We are immensely proud of the mini-marathon's legacy and grateful for the ongoing support that allows us to make a meaningful difference in the lives of cancer patients and their families.

The idea of a cancer centre funded by the people for the people emphasizes the importance of community solidarity and collective action in addressing healthcare needs. It showcases the power of local communities coming together to make a difference and support their fellow community members during challenging times.
