A childhood cancer diagnosis brings so many challenges and we know families may often find themselves in hospital suddenly or without time to prepare. Our free Care Kit is an overnight bag filled with some essentials that you can have ready to go for when you need it. 

What’s included: Designed to help provide a sense of comfort, care and organisation when families need it most we’ve created the packs in consultation with families and expert nurses and it includes useful personal care items such as deodorant, moisturiser and practical things like a reusable cup and a cool bag.  

Children under 16 years of age will receive their pack upon completion of the Irish Cancer Society’s Children's Fund application

Special thanks to Boots Ireland for contributing to the Care Kits.
