Describe the purpose and aim(s) of the organisation/voluntary group
The Family Resource Centre offers a safe and impartial environment for people to meet and interact. It provides for early intervention, i.e. youth activities, support groups, education/training, and health workshops. We try to remove barriers and fear of taking that first step towards education or leading a happier and healthier lifestyle. We encourage people to become more informed and active and share experiences by networking.
