Our annual charity tea party on June the 10th was a wonderful success and we raised 800 Euros for Cork Arc cancer support house in Bantry.
Despite the forecast the dry weather held until mid afternoon at least, and visitors were able to brave heavy winds as long as they held on to hats and hair pins. A steady stream of people came all day both local and from far afield including Australia and America.
They were able to enjoy the gardens and sample the amazing spread of cakes.
Cork Arc cancer support house, with the assistance of Bantry Hospice, extend their services in West Cork at The Bungalow, Bayview, Goureebeg, Bantry. The centre provides help for cancer sufferers and their families. The centre is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am to 4pm. Anyone affected by cancer can telephone or drop in and talk in confidence with trained volunteers, massage or counselling is also available.
The service is run by Oncology nurse Catriona O'Mahony, counsellors and therapists.
