The Irish Cancer Society organises or participates in several events throughout the year, ranging from fundraising events such as Colour Dash or Relay for Life, to patient and volunteer conferences.
We regularly hold "Your Health Matters" roadshows in shopping centres across the country. Trained nurses provide confidential consultations with members of the local community. They provide basic health checks and lifestyle advice to improve people’s awareness of cancer signs, the importance of screening, positive lifestyle changes and to encourage medical care-seeking behaviour. Volunteers are needed to help speak to members of the public, take bookings and hand out leaflets.
At times, the Irish Cancer Society is also present at certain exhibitions and shows.
