This year, Boots Ireland and the Irish Cancer Society celebrate 10 years of partnership. Over the last 10 years, Boots Ireland has raised €2.5 million for the Irish Cancer Society Night Nursing service. Since the relationship began in 2012, team members, patients and customers have come together to raise funds for this essential service to ensure cancer patients receive the end-of-life care needed allowing them to remain in their own home.
Since 2012, €2.5 million has been raised for the Irish Cancer Society Night Nursing service which equates to 7,200 nights of Night Nursing care. 10 Boots Night Walks have taken place with more than 5,000 participants who walked over 25,000 kilometres. Boots stores across Ireland now have over 190 Boots Irish Cancer Society Information Pharmacists and over 50 Boots Cancer Beauty Advisors, making support and information more available to those who need it most.
