Day Meeting and Incognito Escape Rooms on Saturday 24th of January 2026
Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wishing you all a very happy and healthy 2026. So for our first Day Meeting for 2026 we are meeting on Saturday the 24th of January 2026 at 11am at Carmichael Centre, North Brunswick St. Dublin 7. DO7RHAB. As always we will have pizza for lunch... Then in the afternoon we’re going to Incognito Escape Rooms - their new venue at Old Dublin Wall, Lamb Alley, Dublin 8. Some of the games include Orphanage, Prohibition and Floor is Lava. For more information you can check out their website at https://incognitoescaperoom.ie/. An escape room is a physical adventure game in which players are locked in a room or series of rooms, and must solve a series of puzzles using clues, hints and strategy in order to escape in a set time limit. They're great fun and we haven't been to these escape rooms before! As usual you can bring a teenage brother/ sister or friend with you. We will finish up at the Incognito Escape Room at Old Dublin Wall at 5pm approx.
If everyone could take an Antigen test that morning or the day before that would be very much appreciated.
We need to have exact numbers for the staff, so if you are coming along can you let me know at evelyn@canteen.ie or text me at 087-2758081 before Wednesday 21st of January 2026.

Looking forward to seeing you then.

Take care,

Evelyn ⛄ xx

We have just turned 35 years old!

And to celebrate we launched our new book Bad Times, Good Times. This was written by our members sharing their stories about their experience with cancer.

This will be a useful resource for children and young adults alike, as we aim to spread hope with sharing stories to young adults and children who have been newly diagnosed.

That both good times and hard times can go hand in hand.

We would like to thank the Louise Mullen and Dorothy Thomas from the NCCP for helping to fund this project and also the Academy Plaza Hotel for being such great hosts.

We also had a special guest, author Deirdre Sullivan, who kindly gave her time to speak at the launch and chat with our members too 🎗️
