"You will discover that you have two hands.
One is for helping yourself and the other is for helping others"
                                                                      - Audrey Hepburn 

We are a voluntary organisation set up in early 2009.  Our aim is to provide practical support to families and friends touched by  cancer in Monaleen Parish. A wide range of assistance is available.  

In today's world cancer is an illness that affects thousands of people.  There are now a wide range of excellent resources available to fight the disease at a medical level but individuals and their families often have difficulty finding the practical support they so urgently require.  

Can we help you or someone you know? We would love to hear from you. Or, if you know of any individual or family in Monaleen Parish that could be assisted in some way by our group, please pass on our details to them.  You can be assured that all enquiries will be treated in complete confidence.
