Reuben Hambakachere and Joanna Fitzsimons from Cultúr Migrant Centre with Justyna Doherty, Project Coordinator at Trim FRCTrim Family Resource Centre recently held its 'Embracing Communities' event in the Trim Castle Hotel when the organisation also launched its three-year strategic plan.
Trim FRC, based in Mornington Drive, is proud to be connected with multiple local and national agencies and groups in an effort to bring various supports to the South Meath area.
"We were extremely touched by the level of support shown by over 30 groups who took part in the event. This was a great in-person opportunity after Covid for both networking and sharing information and experiences with our local community,” said Justyna Doherty, Project Coordinator.
“This was the first event of its kind we organised, and we are pleased to be able to bring so many representatives of all the various services together,” she said Those in attendance were treated to live performances from Singing for Wellbeing and Dancing groups, and guest speakers from both community and funding sectors.
"One of the best things about this event is that it highlights how our collective strength provides support to people in a way that we couldn’t as individuals” commented Nita Finnerty, one of the voluntary Board members.
Project Coordinator, Justyna Doherty and voluntary board member Mark Keane presented Trim FRC's new three-year Strategic Plan outlining the work that Trim FRC intends to carry out in collaboration with the South Meath community, and the local and national partners.
“Trim FRC has just celebrated its 20th anniversary serving Trim and South Meath. Many lives are improved each year- whether through providing access to kids summer camps, food donations through our food bank, counselling parents or kids, or simply connecting people in our many group activities serving all ages,” said Mark.
“We seek to improve physical and mental well-being and combat isolation. Sometimes the simple act of a conversation over a free cup of tea or coffee can springboard an individual or their family into a much better position" he added.
