This Friday December 18th we’ll Wear to Care.
Will you show you care with what you wear to raise vital funds for cancer patients and their families?
It couldn’t be easier; all you have to do is wear and share your favourite festive looks – pop on a Santa hat, or a Christmas jumper, you can even rock your Christmas PJs a little early!
2020 has been an extremely difficult year for cancer patients and their loved ones.
The vital services provided by the Irish Cancer Society are needed now, more than ever.
To donate €4 today, TEXT WEAR (W-E-A-R) to 50300.
Text costs €4. Irish Cancer Society will receive a minimum of €3.60. Service Provider: LIKECHARITY. Helpline: 076 6805278
Annemarie Ward is an Irish Cancer Society Night Nurse, she joined The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show to talk us through what she does.
Annmarie was recruited during the Covid 19 pandemic to meet increased demand for Night Nursing, as more and more patients wanted to die at home.
The Irish Cancer Society's Night Nursing Service is available so cancer patients at end of life can die at home surrounded by their loved ones.
They provide nursing care, practical support and reassurance. The night nurse will sit with your loved one during the night, unless you request otherwise.
The night nurse will attend from the hours of 11pm – 7am.Night nurses are free of charge for up to 10 nights.
In 2019, over 1,800 patients throughout Ireland used the Night Nursing service, with our Night Nurses providing 7,200 nights of care. Patients and their families tell us they feel more supported and reassured by the presence of an Irish Cancer Society Night Nurse.
The Irish Cancer Society Night Nursing Service is funded almost entirely by money generously donated by the public every year, which is why we are asking you to Wear To Care, this Friday December 18th.
