You can be the difference

Every donation, fundraising event and act of support goes towards essential resources and services, to provide advanced care and hope for patients and their families.

Vital support

We fundraise for Mercy University Hospital in Cork, to provide world-class treatment and life-changing support.
We are a team, a hospital, and a community, committed to providing the best support possible for patients across Cork and beyond. We work tirelessly to improve care, patient experience, and outcomes.

The support of donors, fundraisers, local businesses, and anyone who gets involved, makes a monumental difference to those in need. It helps to change lives and it helps to save lives.
