Boots customers and colleagues have raised over €100,000 for the Irish Cancer Society Night Nurse service through the 2022 Boots Night Walk. The annual sponsored 5km walk saw participants and Boots colleagues raise €103,516 through fundraising and donations. The Irish Cancer Society Night Nurses provide in-home care through the night, for cancer patients requiring end-of-life care, whilst also providing rest and respite for the patient’s families. The service is provided free of charge, and is an invaluable support to families and their loved ones during what can be a particularly difficult time.
Boots has been a proud supporter of the Irish Cancer Society since 2012, and through the generosity of customers, patients and colleagues has raised over €2.6 million, equating to over 7,500 nights of care for the service.
