| Society Mission & Values
Our Mission
The Mission of the Irish Cancer Society is to play a vital role in achieving world-class cancer services in Ireland, to ensure fewer people get cancer and those that do have better outcomes. Our goals are focused around prevention, survival and quality of life with three programme areas to achieve them; advocacy, cancer services and research.
Our Values
These values are OUR Values - the values of the Irish Cancer Society,
its Committees and Board. They are the basic beliefs and principles
that guide everything we do as a group of individuals who work together
in pursuit of a common goal...to Conquer Cancer. We are totally
committed to providing leadership and quality service in support
of the mission of the Irish Cancer Society.
1 Regard for the Purpose
It is about us, and it is about the Organisation….but before
all of this it is about the people and communities we are here to
serve. The needs of our clients - people affected by cancer, families,
carers, and the public - are Paramount, and serving them comes First.
2 The Role of Leadership
We respect and encourage the role of Leadership in defining the
path ahead and making mission based decisions in order to maximise
our progress towards our goals. We are confident that the Leadership
shown within the organisation, is also reflected in the Leadership
the Society can show at community, statutory and government level
in the National fight against Cancer.
3 Teamwork
We are competing against time; we are competing against limited
resources; we are not competing against each other. Our strength
comes from working together to achieve our shared goals, with a
spirit of natural compromise and energy, so as to optimise the use
of our diverse skills, knowledge, and expertise. We are One Team
- together we will achieve our mission.
4 Respect for the Individual
As Individuals, we work to achieve a productive, energetic and
supportive environment that enables everyone to fully contribute
his or her skills and talents.
5 Responsibility and Accountability
Our duties of Responsibility and Accountability create a working
environment in which everyone is motivated and empowered to deliver
high quality services.
6 Stewardship
We willingly accept our duty of Stewardship, to earn and maintain
public trust and the enthusiasm of Volunteers and Supporters.
