€30,000 for Inishowen family
groups
06.06.08
THREE Inishowen groups
who provide marriage, family and bereavement support
are to receive a total of nearly €30,000.
Moville and District Family Resource Centre and
Inishowen Women’s Outreach will each received €5,000
while the marriage counselling group ACCORD
Inishowen will get €18,000.
The money is part of an overall €222,000 allocation
to 18 voluntary and community groups in Donegal who
provide a wide range of marriage, child and
bereavement counselling services and supports.
The funding announced by Department of Social and
Family Affairs Minister Mary Hanafin was today
welcomed by Donegal Senator Cecilia Keaveney.“
Families are central to our society and today’s
allocation will enable the groups involved to help
all members of the family including men women and
children, to cope with periods of stress and trauma
in their lives. I have no doubt that this news will
be greatly welcomed by all those concerned."
Meanwhile, Accord's director of counselling John
Farrelly said while the organisation was grateful
for the funding, it needed ongoing assistance to
sustain services throughout the county. |
