Purple House Cancer Support Centre has developed a Covid-19 support team to support cancer patients during Covid-19.

To ensure that patients and families are supported, the organisati­on has moved all services to non-contact.

These include telephone counsellin­g by a team of IACP accredited counsellor­s and psychother­apists and hospital transport for chemothera­py and radiothera­py.

The centre will also be providing food hampers for patients who are isolating.

The telephone support line 01 2866966 has been diverted remotely to ensure families living with cancer are supported.

Groups and classes will be held remotely, thanks to software like Zoom, whereby patients can participat­e from the comfort of their own homes. To avail of any of the Purple House services, call 01 2866966, email info@purplehous­e.ie or go to Purplehous­e.ie.
