Volunteer as a Driver

The key to the service is the many people who volunteer and drive to Cork City hospitals in their own car or a Cancer Connect owned vehicle. The Volunteer Driver is asked to commit one day per month if possible.

Funding and Donations

Cancer Connect does not receive any Government funding and relies totally upon donations. We are grateful for every cent raised for the service, all funds go towards providing transport to everyone in County Cork on a cancer journey. The funds are used to provide transport to individuals across the County that may otherwise struggle to get to their appointment. Staffing, administrative and operational costs such as management of 8 vehicles are necessary to ensure that delivery of the transport is safe, smooth, and always available to respond to the demand.
