CUH Charity, supports initiatives that bring comfort, connection, and healing to patients during their time in hospital. Thanks to the generous support of our donors, a newly donated piano is already making a lifting spirits.

St Finbar’s Rehabilitation Unit cares for older adults recovering from falls, injuries, or surgeries. Long and challenging recoveries can be as emotionally tough as they are physically.

Dr Pádraigín O’Sullivan turned to CUH Charity to support for funding for a permanent piano. The joy these performances brought to both patients and staff made it clear, music truly is medicine.

Maureen Lancaster shares her talent and love for music with others on the unit, accompanied by porter, John on vocals. The piano offers patients, like Maureen a chance to express themselves, reminisce privately or connect with others through song.

If you support CUH Charity, thank you. Support like yours is what makes these moments possible. Our mission is "Saving & Changing Lives" and we want you with us every step of the way. Stay up to date with the successes and goals through our newsletter! https://www.cuhcharity.ie/newslettersignup/

Oran has never let Type One Diabetes slow him down. Over the last year, he has done a lot of fundraising, so of course, he would make a great ambassador for this year's Type Onesie Day!

Now his school and classmates are showing their support and are asking other primary schools to sign up too. Type Onesie Day is an educational day all about getting to know Type One Diabetes, it raises funds for Paediatric Diabetes services in CUH, which runs clinics for Cork, Kerry & Tipperary.

Primary Schools all over Munster are back in pyjamas this November 14th! 🌟
So, grab your comfiest pjs and ask your school to get involved and sign up: https://www.cuhcharity.ie/type-onesie-day/

Huge thanks to Donncha O'Callaghan for bringing big smiles and even bigger laughs to the children in CUH today! 🏉😊

From rugby legend to “Disaster Dad” author — Donncha proved he’s just as good at storytelling as he is at tackling! Thankfully, no disasters today… unless you count the giggles! 📚😂

Your visit meant the world to the kids (and the grown-ups too). Come back anytime - we’ll keep the chaos to a minimum!
