Purple House Cancer Support

We are delighted that our Cancer Care at Work Programme is shortlisted in the Best Workplace Mental Health & Wellbeing Programme category at the Private Healthcare Awards!

Our aim is to ensure that cancer patients in every workplace across Ireland are supported, and managers complete the Cancer Care At Work training programme to ensure they have the skills necessary to support their employees who are living with cancer.

With over 220,000 people living with and beyond cancer in Ireland today, more patients are returning to work following diagnosis.

🍎👩‍🍳 Healthy Food Made Easy is underway! 🍕

We were delighted to welcome our first participants to our new Healthy Food Made Easy cooking course this week, kindly sponsored and facilitated by Bray & North Wicklow Area Partnership.

It was wonderful to see our brand-new Nutritional Kitchen in action for the very first time!

Running Monday mornings for six weeks, the course aims to show participants how to prepare simple, healthy and delicious meals that are easy to make at home.

The group got off to a fantastic start this week, making their very own pizzas! 🍕 We can’t wait to see what they cook up next week.

A big thank you to facilitator Sadhbh Forde and to Louise Curtin at Bray & North Wicklow Area Partnership for supporting this fantastic initiative and helping bring our Nutritional Kitchen to life.

And, of course, we’re hoping there might be a few leftovers for the Purple House team along the way! 😉💜

Supporting children and young people through every step of a diagnosis. 💜 See how Purple House is here for your family this Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

From everyone at Purple House Cancer Support, we’re wishing Katie Taylor the very best as she steps into the ring tonight for the final fight of her incredible career.
