The Irish Cancer Society is urging anyone affected by cancer in Cork to reach out for help if they are struggling. The charity has doubled its funding for its counselling service to more than €800,000 this year to ensure people can access the free service when it is needed “now more than ever.” 

The service has been made available to both children and adults, including family members and those directly impacted by cancer in addition to those who have lost a loved one to cancer.
