Transport Service

Our Transport Service provides volunteer drivers to transport cancer patients to and from their hospital chemotherapy treatments. 

Over 1,200 drivers around Ireland volunteer for the Irish Cancer Society Transport Service to ease the strain of travel on cancer patients.

Our Transport Service provides volunteer drivers to transport cancer patients to and from their hospital chemotherapy treatments. Patients must attend one of the hospitals participating in the programme and be referred by the hospital. Ask your hospital social worker or nurse for more information.

I have met wonderful people during my time with the Irish Cancer Society. I am so glad I am a volunteer driver. When the drive is complete and the patient is left to their door, I have a definite sense that I have done something good and worthwhile for someone else, and that makes me happy.
