A sincere thank you to members of the Ardrahan Show Committee who called to Hollyblue House yesterday evening to present their generous donation. We are incredibly grateful for their continued support & for once again choosing Gort Cancer Support as their designated charity this year.
We were delighted to have the opportunity to collect donations at the Ardrahan Show in July & to be part of such a wonderful community event.
Over the past three years, the Ardrahan Show Committee has donated more than €2,500 to our support centre. This ongoing commitment means so much to us & helps ensure we can continue to provide vital support services to individuals & families affected by a cancer diagnosis throughout our community.
Thank you to everyone involved in the Ardrahan Show for your kindness, generosity & belief in the work we do. Your support truly makes a difference.

We are delighted to launch a new Music Therapy Programme beginning on Monday 7th September, open to anyone affected by a cancer diagnosis.
Facilitated by a qualified music therapist from Anam Music Therapy, these welcoming & supportive sessions use music to promote emotional wellbeing, reduce stress, support coping skills & provide a safe space for self-expression.
Sessions may include music listening, singing, songwriting, improvisation, discussion or simply taking time to connect through music. No musical experience is needed. Just come as you are.
Anam Music Therapy is a social enterprise providing accessible, evidence-informed music therapy services to individuals & communities across Ireland, helping people experience the therapeutic benefits of music in a safe, confidential & supportive environment.
If you or someone you know has been affected by a cancer diagnosis & would like to learn more or book a place, please contact us on 086 1724500 during opening hours.

Have you completed your cancer treatment & are looking for support to help you move forward with confidence?
Cancer Thrive & Survive is a free, 6-week self-management programme designed to help people living with & beyond cancer regain confidence, improve wellbeing, & manage the physical & emotional challenges that can follow treatment.
Over the six weeks, participants explore topics such as:
• Managing fatigue & building energy
• Healthy eating & physical activity
• Coping with stress, anxiety & emotions
• Goal setting & problem solving
• Building confidence & resilience
• Living well beyond cancer & accessing ongoing support.
The programme will be facilitated by our Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, Pam Watson (The CBT Lady), alongside a trained Peer Leader who has previously completed the programme themselves. Together, they offer both professional guidance & the valuable perspective of lived experience.
We’re hoping to run our next programme in late September, subject to sufficient numbers.
If you, or someone you know, would be interested in taking part, we’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch on 086 1724500 to register your interest or to find out more. Please feel free to share this post with anyone who may benefit.
