About ARC

ARC is a community cancer support centre. We have three Centres across Dublin. Our mission is to provide psychological, emotional, practical, and educational support to people with cancer and those who care for them, through a warm, welcoming and client centred approach and to ensure that everyone in Ireland is aware of, and able to access these services.

Our Centres are a haven from the outside world, offering free-of-charge support to men, women and children affected by cancer and those who care for them. We offer a range of supports including information service by phone, e-mail and drop in, counselling, complementary therapies, survivorship courses, support groups, wellness classes and talks.

Volunteers are at the heart of ARC. They provide the warm welcome to each client who comes through our door and support the centre teams in the necessary work that ensures we provide clients with high quality support at any stage of our clients journey.
