The Family and Community Services Resource Centre programme comes under the auspices of the statutory Family Support Agency. The programme provides for a network of Family Resource Centres which aim to help combat disadvantage by supporting the functioning of the family unit.
The services provided and activities supported by the resource centres are designed to meet the needs of the local community and include the provision of training, information, advice and support to target groups and families in the area; the provision of education courses, childcare facilities to those attending such courses and the running of after-school clubs.
Family Resource Centres provide services for lone parent families, young mothers and others considered in need of extra support. They can act as a first step to community participation and social inclusion.
Family Resource Centres are run by voluntary management committees, comprised of members of the local community.
A review of the Family Resource Centre Programme launched in February 2007 showed that almost 850,000 visits were made to family resource centres during 2005, with 140,000 people receiving advice and information and almost 16,000 people completing training courses.
At the end of 2006, 100 FRCs were in place. Six new centres have been approved for inclusion in 2007, bringing the total number of centres in the Programme to 106. The six new centres are as follows:
Taghmon Action Group, Taghmon, Co. Wexford
