Description

| CanTeen Ireland is a
nation-wide support group for young people who have or have had
cancer, and for their brothers, sisters and friends. CanTeen
Ireland was set up in 1990 by a group of dedicated health professionals.
We are associated with the Irish Cancer Society, and can be contacted
through our address which can be found later on, by the Irish
Cancer Society, or through the social worker in the hospitals. |

| One of the biggest things
we do is Weekends Away. Throughout the year we have 4/5 weekends
away. We go to various activity centres all over Ireland, and
we go to the Barretstown Gang Camp once a year. We have also
been to Alton Towers, the Share Centre in Fermanagh, Shielbaggan
Outdoor Adventure Centre, to name but a few. We have also been
to Scotland, and even as far way as Australia, and New Zealand.
As a group we meet up 6 to 8 times a year. At these meetings
we have a chance to talk, share stories and have a bit of fun.
We then have lunch...PIZZA, PIZZA, and more PIZZA! And
then in the afternoon we go on an activity, such as bowling,
quasar, painting ceramics etc. To keep you (the member) up to
date, we have set up a newsletter that is written by you the
members. The Steering Committee is the group that runs CanTeen.
It has a majority of teenage members, so it will be you the member
who will be making the decisions on what activities etc. which
you want to do. |
