Description
Blankets of hope at The Girls Club Cork The Blankets of Hope was an idea I saw in the States and when I was going through Cancer myself, I found that some-days it is very cold in the Chemotherapy ward and there was a need for Comfort Blanket. So came to the team and asked them what they thought and we went with it. We started by asking the volunteers in the Centre and family to make and knit squares or Blankets and today we have donated over 7,500 blankets in the Cork and County Regions.

ALL OUR BLANKETS ARE FREE OF CHARGE
The Blankets of Hope are taken to the four Oncologhy Wards in Cork. Nurses distribite them to patients. We also distribute them from our Centre in 26 Pauls Street.
We depend on donations of wool , we never sell or raffle any of the Blankets that are donated to the Centre, these are property of The Girls Club Cork Ltd and will be distributed to all the OncolOgy Hospitals Hospices and Homes
