Meath Women’s Refuge & Support Services has launched its annual Christmas Appeal, asking the community in Meath to support women and children affected by domestic violence across the county. We are so grateful for the generosity of families, communities and businesses across Meath who give each year. While our staff salaries are funded by the State, donations and grants help us provide counselling, play therapy, activities for families and maintain our refuge building.

A new pilot project, Zero Tolerance Meath, launches today and aims to build capacity to prevent Domestic, Sexual, and Gender-Based Violence (DSGBV) in County Meath. Over the next three years, this project will use a community-led approach to prevent and respond to DSGBV, hoping to create a safer community for all women and girls. The project is led by Meath Women’s Refuge and Support Services, with funding from CUAN, and is being evaluated by Maynooth University.

Today, 20th September 2024, Meath Women’s Refuge & Support Service launch a new report entitled ‘No Safety Net: The Cost of Survival’ detailing the impact of flexible cash payments to women survivors of domestic violence over the past four years.
