Cork Cancer Care Centre

The idea for this wonderful centre was conceived by Ann Dowley Spillane (1963 – 2017), who was on the journey with cancer. It was following her diagnosis and whilst undergoing treatment that she became acutely aware of the need to support each other with ideas, advice and most importantly, a shoulder to lean on. And so in February 2011, The Girls Club now known as Cork Cancer Care Centre, which is based on a solid positive approach and positive encouragement, was born!

Cork Cancer Care Centre is located at 26 St Pauls Avenue Cork. This premises is the centre’s official meeting point and ‘home away from home’ which provides vital support to those touched by Cancer, and their families. Cork Cancer Care Centre provide a variety of free services, at no cost to the user, including counselling or Psychotherapy and a wide range of complimentary therapies such as Reiki, Access bars, Indian head, Lymphatic drainage, Reflexology , Shamanic healing, etc.
