Sitting in a cul-de-sac just off the Hospital Hill in Monaghan Town, is the Crocus building.

The peer support group started off with just three members, and has grown upwards of three hundred members.

Crocus provides support to people who are living with a cancer diagnosis, at various different stages of their cancer journey.

Over the years, it has had a profound impact on families throughout Co. Monaghan, and has firmly established itself within the community.

Some of the supports provided by Crocus include complementary therapies and treatments, as well as mind-body workshops, counselling and psychotherapy services, and a transport service.

Last week, Maitiú Monaghan paid them a visit to try and figure out what makes Crocus so special.
