History The charity was started in 1999 by a team of health care professionals in University Hospital Waterford who recognised the need for and benefits of non-medical supports for those affected by cancer. The services quickly outgrew its original rented facility. Following a massive community effort that started in 2008 the necessary funds were raised and a new purpose-built centre opened in 2011. Our Mission To support people affected by cancer, their families, and carers in Waterford and the South East.
