ARC Cancer Support Centre

ARC Cancer Support Centre ARC Cancer Support Centres is a voluntary organisation supporting anyone affected by cancer. Coming to terms with cancer can be very difficult.

In ARC we offer comfort through this period of stress and anxiety together with psychological and emotional support. We have a team of psychotherapists, counsellors, reflexologists and yoga teachers, administration and fundraising staff. ARC could not survive without the support of a host of brilliant volunteers who help to manage the ‘drop in’ centres and fundraise for ARC. Our services are FRE

E OF CHARGE but we rely heavily on fundraising efforts to provide these in our two centres in Dublin:
Northside: 65 Eccles Street
Southside: 559 South Circular Road

We're delighted to share that ARC Cancer Support Centres has been awarded a transformational grant from the RTÉ Toy Show Appeal, in partnership with Community Foundation Ireland.

This funding will go directly towards our Play Therapy programme, which supports children navigating one of the hardest things a young person can face.

Play Therapy gives children a safe, age-appropriate space to process fear, grief, and change that they often don't have the words for.

We want this announcement to do more than say thank you. It's a chance to show the public and the viewers who donated during the Late Late Toy Show, exactly where their generosity goes, and the real difference it makes.

So we'll let Charlie tell you himself.

Charlie is a former ARC client who took part in Play Therapy when his family was affected by cancer. In the video below, he shares what that support meant to him, in his own words.

To everyone who tuned in, donated, and made this possible: thank you. And to and RTÉ, thank you for continuing to back the organisations doing this vital work across Ireland.

For men living with prostate cancer, and their partners, the impact on intimacy and sexual health can be one of the most isolating parts of the journey.

ARC is proud to host a confidential, free online talk with Emily Power Smith, Ireland’s leading Clinical Sexologist, created specifically for heterosexual men living with prostate cancer and their partners.

With over 20 years of experience, Emily takes a warm, sex-positive, pleasure-based approach to sexual health, helping couples move beyond performance and functionality to rediscover connection, closeness, and intimacy on their own terms.

Men’s Health Week runs from Monday 15th to Sunday 21st June, and this year’s theme is ‘One Step at a Time’.

Progress, not perfection. Small, consistent steps that make a real difference over time.

Men continue to face significant health challenges, including a 17% higher cancer mortality rate compared to women. Men are also less likely to attend screening, visit their GP, or reach out for support.

That’s why weeks like this matter. And it’s why ARC Cancer Support is here.

Over the next two weeks, we have a number of supports available specifically for men:

Free Online Talk with Emily Power Smith, Ireland’s leading Clinical Sexologist - created specifically for heterosexual men living with prostate cancer and their partners. A safe, expert-led space to explore an important and often undiscussed part of life with prostate cancer.

Focused Pilates Workshop for Men with Prostate Cancer - gentle, targeted movement to support your body and wellbeing during and after treatment.

Monthly Men’s Support Group & Prostate Cancer Support Group - connecting with others who truly understand what you’re going through can make all the difference.

Whether you’re navigating a diagnosis, supporting someone you love, or simply taking steps to protect your health, you don’t have to do it alone.
