About Us

Childhood Cancer Ireland is a national charity solely dedicated to supporting children and young people with cancer, survivors and their families, throughout their cancer experience.

We are committed to providing comprehensive psychosocial support [LINK to What We Do] to the entire family. Psychosocial support refers to the combination of psychological and social services aimed at addressing the emotional, mental, financial and social needs of children, adolescents and young adults with cancer, survivors, their families and bereaved families. 

At the core of our work is the commitment to good governance, evidence-based practices, and standardisation, ensuring that every family, regardless of their specific circumstances, has access to the right level of care and support.  

We are guided by our mission and core values – empathy, empowerment, lifelong support, and collaboration. We are deeply committed to listening to those who use and need our services, and to the ongoing evaluation and evolution of our supports to meet their changing needs. 

Childhood Cancer Ireland continues to be led by a majority of parents and survivors, as we support children and young people with cancer, survivors and their families from the moment of diagnosis, through treatment and recovery and into survivorship or bereavement.
