Lilac Cancer Support

General information

LILAC (Life is for Living After Cancer) was established in 2003 in response to a pressing need in communities in Mid Ulster for more support for cancer sufferers and their families. We are committed to caring, listening to and supporting those affected by cancer and their families in an informal, caring and confidential environment. A diagnosis of cancer is a life-changing experience for the patient and their family. Cancer has touched the house of nearly every family in this country.

Our aim is to provide some of the services which are not provided through the NHS. We offer cancer patients and their families complementary therapy, transportation to hospital appointments a vital service not available under the NHS, a friendly face and a reliable person to talk to, signposting and counselling.

Our kind generous volunteers work very hard to support cancer patients, cancer survivors and of course their families. The majority of volunteers within LILAC have been affected by cancer themselves, so we understand you. We are so proud of everything our volunteers, their supporters and local businesses have helped us achieve.

We are proud to have an amazing Youth Committee who work tirelessly fundraising, signposting, raising awareness and promoting our charity via social media.
