The Solas Cancer Support Centre opened in Waterford 10 years ago today

The Solas Cancer Support Centre in Waterford opened its doors to clients for the first time 10 years ago today.

The land was donated by Waterford council and a huge fundraising effort allowed the €1m centre to be built outright.

Thousands of people have used their services - many of which are still being offered remotely at this time.

Manager Tracy McDaid says it's hard to believe 10 years have passed:

"The charity is 21 years old and had operated from different rented premises."

"It was really a committed group of volunteers and trustees who saw the vision of the centre, and here we are 10 years later."
