Paul Cunningham Nurses is a Charity set up in 2008 in Memory of Paul Cunningham, who sadly passed away from spinal cancer. 

PCN provide a ‘hospice at home' support and care service free of charge for people with any end stage terminal illness.Untitled-2

Our nurses can also offer a very supportive general nursing service for those who need us.

 At present from our base in La Marina we cover an area of the Southern Costa Blanca from Pilar De Horadada up to Alicante on the coast and inland to Orihuela, and we plan to open a further office in Javea to enable us to cover the Northern Costa Blanca.

 For further information on the services we can offer, click HERE






PCN 'at a glance' as at 1st August 2010


As at 1st August 2010, PCN have 16 nurses and carers who are caring for 44 patients, and provided 920 hours of care in the month of July.

In July, over €5360 was raised through fundraising, together with a further €4646 from our shop takings. 

In the first 6 months of 2010, our numbers of patients, nurses and carers have nearly DOUBLED and very soon, we will have DOUBLE the number of shops!

Our grateful thanks go to all who help in anyway to fund our nurses and carers.

Every €10 donation we receive pays for one hour of nursing care for terminally ill patients.

Every cent helps us continue this much needed work!

CARNATIONS CARNATIONS!!

Hundreds of local bars,  businesses and individual supporters of Paul Cunningham Nurses, have done us proud by selling our Carnations. 
Can we please ask you all to accept this as a personal ´THANK YOU´ for your support. 
All the monies raised are used to nurse our terminally ill patients. 
We are eternally grateful to you all.

If you would like a personal receipt for monies raised via the carnations, ring Kären at our office on 966 790 363 during office hours of 9.30-12.30 Monday to Friday - please do not ring outside of these hours as the number is then used for Nursing needs only.

Susan Reader is on her way around collecting the remaining carnations and monies, and asks for your patience please this is a huge job.

PCN Needs Wheels!


With the success of charity shop and a second shop opening soon, we need to be able to transport stock and the larger items that are donated to us.

We are looking for a people carrier or similar to purchase, if you know of a suitable vehicle for sale, please let us know.



Storage Space Needed

The ladies in our La Marina office are being squeezed out by equipment!  We are looking for reasonably priced storage in the La Marina area, with easy access so that we can store wheelchairs, hoists etc. 

If you can help, please phone or call into the office.
