Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Challenges Facing Community-based Cancer Support Services: Discussion

Mr. John Conroy:

I am from the Dóchas Offaly cancer support group. I am representing some of the smaller centres. As Ms Fort mentioned, we are a mixture of centres that are big, large or small. From a fundraising perspective it is absolutely impossible to create an annual budget. When we sit down at the beginning of the year to plan out our service plan for the year, we are looking at what the expected income will be and the hoped income. Then we try to budget services around that. With fundraising models we are so dependent on our communities. We really appreciate the communities.
