In Tipperary, the cancer support group is extending heartfelt thanks to the public for the overwhelming generosity shown throughout the year.

Care Centre Clonmel: Closure for Christmas Leave
The CARE Centre in Clonmel will close for its annual Christmas leave on Thursday, December 18. The team at the centre emphasizes that this brief pause is a chance to rest, plan, and prepare for a vibrant new year of services. During this closure period, important administrative communications can be directed to the centre’s usual channels, with staff responding promptly upon reopening.
Reopening Details: What to Expect in January
The CARE Centre is scheduled to reopen on Wednesday, January 7, at 10:00am. As in previous years, the reopening marks a refreshed opportunity to access patient support services, counseling, information sessions, and practical assistance designed to ease the journey for people navigating a cancer diagnosis. The new year plan focuses on expanding peer support groups, enhancing information resources, and strengthening links with local health services.
Why Local Support Matters
Cancer affects families and communities beyond the individual diagnosed. The Tipperary cancer support group serves as a cornerstone for emotional support, practical tips, and shared experiences. By offering regular meetings, confidential guidance, and a sympathetic ear, the group helps reduce isolation and provides a sense of belonging at a challenging time. The generosity of the public translates into real improvements in daily life for patients and carers alike.
Ways to Get Involved
There are multiple ways to contribute to this vital work. People can volunteer their time to support events, help coordinate information sessions, or assist families in practical ways. Donations of goods or funds continue to be welcomed, and participation in fundraising activities helps sustain essential services. The group also invites new writers, speakers, and project contributors who want to share their experiences and help build a stronger support network across Tipperary.
Upcoming Projects: Exciting Podcast Opportunities
In addition to in-person support, the community is exploring new outreach through podcast projects aimed at sharing survivor stories, caregiving tips, and expert advice. The initiative seeks new writers and contributors who can help craft engaging, informative episodes that resonate with listeners across McTipperary and the wider region. Interested individuals are encouraged to connect with the group to learn how they can contribute.
Closing Note
The cancer support network in Tipperary remains grateful for every act of kindness, every donation, and every moment of shared empathy. As the CARE Centre reopens in January, the community can look forward to continued support, renewed programs, and fresh opportunities to come together for the benefit of those affected by cancer and their loved ones.
