Information
We have an extensive range of books and leaflets on all types of cancer, treatments and statutory entitlements

Volunteer to Drive
One of our major achievements of 2014 was the purchase of a car.
We have a team of trained volunteer drivers who provide a free transport service to St. Luke’s hospital on a daily
basis. If you’re undergoing Cancer Treatment we can help ease some of the strain of travelling to and from your
appointments at St. Luke’s hospital. Cancer treatment involves a great deal of travelling. Patients are already
dealing with the physical and emotional strains of a cancer diagnosis – don’t let your appointments be a worry to
you or your family just contact Arklow Cancer Support Group.
24 hours notice is required for this service.
