In light of current advice, Purple House Cancer Support Centre will be closed to the public until further notice as a necessary strategy in line with the recommendations to help reduce the risk of spread of the Corona virus.
In the interest of Health and Safety to our Service Users, Volunteers and Staff it is necessary to modify our Services to help alleviate any risk of infection.

Some cancer treatments can cause a weak immune system and it is necessary to take extra care if you are on cancer treatment. This is similar to other infections, such as the flu.

Our remote Cancer Support Services are available to Cancer Patients Nationwide – Call 012866966

We have developed a Covid-19 Support Team at Purple House and have moved all of our Cancer Support Services to non-contact services, these include:

   Telephone Counselling by our team of IACP Accredited Counsellors & Psychotherapists. (Call 012866966) взять деньги по паспорту микрозайм

– Hospital Transport for chemotherapy and radiotherapy – to ensure that patients still attend their appointments.

– The Provision of Food Hampers for patients who are isolating. To limit patients visiting supermarkets etc.

– Our Telephone support line has been diverted to our mobile phones to ensure families living with Cancer are supported during this worrying time.

We can be contacted on 012866966 or by emailing info@purplehouse.ie
