2020 has been a challenging year for charities in Ireland, especially small local charities. Located alongside Paul Street Car-Park with a vibrant purple door is Cork Cancer Care Centre, supporting cancer warriors for over 8 years. Continuing to support through the COVID-19 pandemic with counselling services, their incredible Cancer Warriors WhatsApp group and The Blankets of Hope.
Unfortunately, the fundraising efforts have all but disappeared for the year with no coffee mornings taking place, no supermarket bag packing, no annual dinner and many other fundraisers the charity would have received kind donations from which they rely on to operate and keep their doors open each year. They receive no government funding, and all services are offered for free, so these vital fundraisers have been instrumental in keeping the charity operational each year. In 2020, the charity has seen a major decline in donations.
