Mevagh Family Resource Centre was established in 1997 by a voluntary board of directors. The board saw the need to develop services for families in the community so they applied for Family Resource Centre status which was granted in 2001. The centre is managed by a Voluntary Board of Management elected from various community groups and individuals at the AGM held each year. The Board meet on a monthly basis to discuss and support Centre business. Mevagh Family Resource Centre / Meitheal Mhíobhaigh CTR is funded by the Irish Government under the Child & Family Support Unit, TUSLA.
The Family Resource Centre was established to combat disadvantage and our goal is to have ‘an inclusive, well informed, active and participating community, where the family unit is supported and safe and secure’ at the core of its work at all times. Since our foundation in 1997 we have established the centre as the area’s natural focal point by providing services and family support. In more recent years we have focused on additional family friendly activities while still providing a range of programmes and services, including community education, community garden, women’s groups and group supports.
These services stimulate empowerment, encourage participation, are inclusive, give children, families and individuals equal opportunities, are anti-discriminatory and promote partnership.
The Centre run needs-based programmes which concentrate on individuals and families in the Primary Care Team area of Milford/Fanad and Ros Goill.
We deliver specific projects for children and young people, developing personal capacity, improving health and wellbeing and providing educational opportunities. We work in partnership with local agencies to provide these supports. In addition to this, the centre provides information, advice and supports to meet the needs of individuals and groups. We also offer typing and copying service, internet access, hot desks, library, agency outreach, assist with job applications and CV writing, room rental and tourist information.
