East Coast Family Resource Centre

The Family Resource Centre was established in 2007 by The Crann Support Group in response to a need to tackle disadvantage in Laytown. At this time the service focused predominantly on child care with a subsidised preschool and afterschool service and the facilitation of parenting programmes and groupwork for the community. In October 2018 The Family Resource Centre opened its second premises in Bettystown when The Family Resource Centre became part of the National Family Resource Centre programme. What was the Laytown Family Resource Centre has now been named the East Coast Family Resource Centre to reflect its catchment area of Laytown, Bettystown, Mornington, Donacarney and Mosney. The expansion of the Family Resource Centre means the community can be supported through a range of community services including family support work, education and training, parenting programmes and youth work.
