The West Clare Cancer Centre is delighted to have been gifted this beautiful piece of history. It is now up on our wall here in the centre in Kilkee. Many thanks to An Fáinne Women’s Group. Please call into the centre at any time to see this amazing piece of work by women of our community. We look forward to seeing you.
The women who crafted this Quilt were part of An Fáinne Women’s group. This group of women came together in 1992 to support each other and the women of the Loophead Peninsula. They were original in their thinking and participated in many innovative initiatives which were of benefit to women and their communities.
One of the many exciting projects which they undertook was making this quilt under the skilful and creative guidance of Anne Berry of Rainbow Cottage Crafts in Ross, Kilbaha. Each of the women designed and crafted a square of the quilt. This was done during the winter months of 1995/96 in Anne Berry’s cottage and also in An Teach Ceoil, Carrigaholt.
It was a privilege to be part of this project and to have known and worked with such a wonderful group of women.
We remember with fondness Mary McGuire, Anne McMahon, Kathleen Nealon and Val Considine who are no longer with us.

This Valentine’s Day, we celebrate love in all its beautiful forms — the care between neighbours, the bond of family, the strength of friendship, and the courage of those who keep showing up.
Love is everywhere — especially here.

Love is not just roses red —
It’s meals made warm, kind words said.
It’s showing up in quiet ways,
And walking with you through hard days.

Self-love isn’t selfish — it’s essential. Whether you’re resting, grieving, or growing, being kind to yourself is a powerful act of healing. This week, let love begin within. #WestClareCancerCentre #WestClareCommunity

We are truly delighted with the success of our Charity Walk & Run. It was an incredible day from start to finish, and we are so grateful to everyone who made it possible.
A sincere thank you to John Mc Elligott for creating this wonderful video for us. He captured the spirit of the day beautifully and gave us lasting memories we will always value. It was a privilege to work with him, and he is available for charity events — we would highly recommend him.
We would also like to thank everyone who helped behind the scenes, volunteered, organised, supported, and attended on the day. Events like this rely on community spirit, and we are very fortunate to have such outstanding support around us.
To everyone who donated, thank you for your generosity. Every contribution makes a meaningful difference, and we are proud that the funds raised remain within the region, supporting people and families in our local communities.
To all who walked, ran, cheered, or took part in any way, you made the event the success it was. The atmosphere and encouragement throughout the day were truly special.
Together, we have made a real difference. Thank you all for your support.
