Family Resource Centre National Forum

The Family Resource Centre National Forum is the national representative body of all FRC's. The vision of the FRC National Forum is that all children, families and communities will actively participate and be included in a society that is free from prejudice, inequality, discrimination and exclusion, which will contribute to their greatest possible well-being. The Family Resource Centre (FRC) Programme is a national programme core funded by Tusla - The Child and Family Agency, which provides funding to over 120 FRC's in Ireland. The principal objective of the FRC programme is to combat disadvantage and to strengthen and empower children, families and communities to achieve the five National Outcomes. The programme involves local communities in addressing the issues they face, and creates meaningful partnerships for social change between voluntary and statutory agencies. Through our Voluntary Board of Directors FRCs work from community development principles. We are committed to ensuring that all children and families have equal rights to participate in society.
