€5.5 million has been allocated to the Alliance of Community Cancer Support and Service nationally
The CARE Cancer Support Centre in Clonmel is one of the cancer services in the county that will benefit from a €5.5 million allocation to the Alliance of Community Cancer Support and Service nationally.
Circle of Friends Cancer Support in Tipperary Town, Suir Haven Cancer Support Centre in Thurles and Suaimhneas Cancer Support Centre in Nenagh are also in line for funding.
Health Minister Stephen Donnelly said “I’m pleased to allocate €5.5 million in Budget 2025 for the NCCP Alliance of Community Cancer Support Centres and Services.
“Centres like CARE Cancer Support, Circle of Friends, Suaimhneas and Suir Haven in Tipperary provide vital services for cancer patients in communities throughout Ireland, both adults and children.
“They do tremendous work to ensure that national survivorship programmes are available all across Ireland. This government places great value on the dedication of the staff and volunteers who make these centres possible.
“I was pleased as Minister for Health to allocate once-off state funding to our community support service for the first time in 2024.
“This year’s allocation of €5.5 million represents an increase in this funding in 2025 and it will become permanent, annual funding”.
