Community Groups

Cork ARC Cancer Support House has become a vital source of care, connection and hope for individuals and families affected by cancer across Cork and West Cork. Since opening its doors in 2003, the organisation has provided free professional and community-based support services that reduce the emotional, physical and financial impact of a cancer diagnosis. Through its centres in Wilton and Bantry, Cork ARC ensures that people in both urban and rural communities can access compassionate care close to home. The organisation delivers a wide range of supports including one-to-one counselling, bereavement counselling, oncology nurse consultations, art therapy, health coaching, social welfare guidance and tailored cancer rehabilitation programmes. Group exercise and wellbeing activities such as yoga, Pilates, mindfulness, relaxation sessions and walking groups help people regain confidence, improve quality of life and reduce isolation during and after treatment.
