Cancer Support Services

The Cuisle Centre was founded in 2003. It is a registered charity offering professional support to newly diagnosed cancer patients and their families. The Cuisle Centre has both a structured and an informal approach to a person's care. People are encouraged to use the centre on an informal basis where they are able to meet professionally trained people in a relaxed, calm and homely atmosphere.

Our Mission Statement

'To provide a warm, safe and welcoming environment for our clients and their families affected by cancer. We offer counselling, information, and psychological support to all.'

Who comes to the Cuisle Centre?

• Anyone who has been diagnosed with any form of cancer.
• Adult family members and friends that are in anyway affected by their loved one's condition.

All Services in the Centre are Free of Charge

The Cuisle Centre has received funding from National Lottery funds and the Laois Leader. Otherwise our services are funded by voluntary donations and fundraising events organized by the public. We very much appreciate the support we receive from all the fundraising events organized throughout the region and we wish to say a big "Thank You" to everybody involved.

A special thank you to The Laois Cancer Research, Le Ceile and Laois Hospice who have provided us with funding from the very start.
