Wexford Rape Crisis Centre new building

 

 

 

Please help support Wexford Rape Crisis bucket collection on Wednesday 17 July at Wexford Park in aid of our new premises. We will be collecting outside the park from 6 pm.

 

The WR&SASS facilitated a creative art group with local artist Helen McLean (helenmcleanart.com) with clients of the WR&SASS. This amazing mosaic is now complete and will be hung on the wall of the centre. It encompasses a variety of creative materials and signifies the journey of some of the clients of the centre.

Governance Code WR&SASS

‘We comply with the Governance code for community, voluntary and charitable organisations in Ireland.  We reviewed our organisation’s compliance with the principles in the Code. We based this review on an assessment of our organisational practice against the recommended actions for each principle.  Our review sets out actions and completion dates for any issues that the assessment identifies need to be addressed’.

WR&SASS will be selling tickets for a Raffle at Tesco’s, on Thursday, 25th April 2013 (10am – 6pm) to raise funds for the Centre.   Great prizes to be won, kindly donated by local businesses.
