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.

Gort Cancer Support
In 2024, our volunteers completed 120 drives for clients who needed safe, reliable transport to treatment, scans & check‑ups. In 2025, that number rose to 267 drives, which represents an incredible 122% increase in demand.
This surge shows just how vital the service is for people facing cancer in our community. Every journey represents support & one less worry during an already challenging time.
A HUGE THANK YOU to all our volunteer drivers 🥰.

These sessions are open to anyone living with or beyond cancer, as well as family members. Mindfulness can be a powerful support, helping easing stress, nurturing emotional wellbeing & helping you build resilience through challenging times.
Each session is led by Hilary Smyth, a qualified teacher & member of the Mindfulness Teachers Association of Ireland (MTAI). Hilary offers a calm, supportive space to pause, breathe & gently reconnect with yourself.
There’s no booking needed & no cost. Simply come as you are & stay for as long as you like.
If you’re considering joining our upcoming 8‑Week Mindfulness Programme, these drop‑ins are a lovely way to get a feel for the practice first.
