Charting future of the organisation

Today the Curragh Family Resource Centre launched the publication of its three-year whole service evaluation, to chart the future of their community-based organisation.

Government officials from the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, Department of Defence, and the Department of Foreign Affairs attended the ceremony, which opened with an address from the General Officer Commanding the Defence Forces Training Centre.

The evaluation was carried out by an independent research and evaluation consultant Dr. Daniel Perkins, a Professor of Youth and Family Resiliency and Policy at the Penn State University.

Angela Morrissey-Kenny joined Eoin Beatty on Monday morning's 'Kildare Today':

The centre has just recently opened a second building to accommodate the expansion of its therapeutic hub model, funded and supported by TUSLA.
