Welcome
Gort Cancer Support Centre offers a confidential community-based cancer support service to anybody affected by a cancer diagnosis in the South Galway / North Clare areas. We provide the highest possible standard of care to everyone who avails of our support services. From the very first point of contact, you will be greeted by one of our caring and empathetic team members, whose role is to ensure you feel supported and welcome. Their expertise, dedication and care for each person using our services, makes Hollyblue House the haven of tranquillity it is.
A diagnosis of cancer profoundly changes a person’s life. Many people feel alone, isolated and afraid. Some people keep their fears to themselves in order not to cause further trauma to their families. Others have no one to share their fears with. By adopting a holistic approach and providing a range of supportive services and activities, we enhance people’s wellbeing and coping skills.
Please make the call, as we are here to support you and your family. We fully understand your feelings of fear, panic, sadness and loneliness. We can assure you when you leave our centre, you will have a new sense of peace and hope.
All services are offered FREE OF CHARGE and confidentiality is ensured.

A special thank you to the Lady Gregory Hotel for generously hosting the event & providing prosecco, all free of charge. Having the space to beautifully showcase all the donated fashion was essential to the success of the event.
Thank you to everyone who donated clothes, mirrors & rails. Thank you also to all those who attended, helping raise vital funds to support our charity.
A big shout-out to all in the centre, who worked under tough conditions for the last number of weeks. A special mention again to Mary who allowed her home to be taken over by clothes in order to hold this event.
Thank you also to David Kelly & Paul Gillen for the use of their vans to ferry rails & clothes.
Thank you to our committee & our wonderful team of volunteers, who gave many hours of their time on both Saturday & Sunday - we simply couldn’t have done it without you. THANKS EVERYONE 🥰

This week, Carol received a small gift from Cara on behalf of all of us at Hollyblue House — a token of our appreciation & warmest wishes as she begins this exciting new chapter.
There will be no Yoga for Cancer classes on Wednesday mornings for the foreseeable future but we’ll be sure to keep you updated on any changes. Anyone who has been attending the yoga sessions is very welcome to try either Tai Chi (Wed at 2pm) or Chair Yoga (Mon at 2pm).
All the best Carol!

This service is truly life-changing, especially for those living alone or in rural communities, where access to transport can be a major barrier to care. Our volunteers make it possible for clients to attend appointments with dignity, ease & peace of mind.
We are so grateful to you all for your time, kindness & commitment. A MASSIVE THANK YOU to ALL our volunteer drivers 👏👏.
