Together we can..

Your support allows us to constantly invest so that our facilities, equipment and services are of the highest quality – delivering comfort, dignity and the best possible care for patients and residents.

It is thanks to the on-going and generous support we receive from the public and companies that we can provide the incredibly high levels of care that we do.

However as people are living longer and have more complex healthcare needs, we must provide even more specialist facilities and services of the highest quality to meet these critical requirements and growing demands.

That is why our supporters are our lifeline as we need to fundraise over €5.5 million every single year to support our work, including the establishment of our new hospice in Wicklow, the refurbishment of our palliative care unit in Blackrock and the evolution of our community based services.
