South Eastern Cancer Foundation - Solas Centre

THE SOLAS CENTRE-GET BEHIND THE DRIVE! !    €250,000 needed to finish the project, fitting out the building and opening our expanded service.   

Building work commenced in May and the building is expected to open in Spring 2011.

We are raising €1.5m to construct and fit out a purpose built Cancer Support centre in Waterford to service the South East region. Waterford City Council has very kindly provided the site close to the Hospital. Over €1.25 m has been raised to date. Donations are NEEDED TO BUILD THIS IMPORTANT RESOURCE CENTRE-TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!  This project is entirely funded by charitable donations, - we are doing for ourselves!

 The new SOLAS CENTRE will improve and expand the service that the SECF provides - counselling, group support and relaxation therapies to cancer patients and carers at our current drop-in centre in Waterford and throughout South East counties of Kilkenny, South Tipperary, Carlow and Wexford with our outreach service.

All services are free of charge, and are paid 100% from YOUR generous donations.
