Building Progress
With only three weeks to go until we can finally move into our new Maudlintown premises, we have been lucky enough to venture in to see the progress being made by Anthony Neville Homes and our foreman, John Roche.
As our opening day draws ever closer, we still need to raise the vital funds to furnish and decorate the entire building. We are relying on the generosity of the Wexford people to complete this.
You can make a donation through our website, www.wexfordrapecrisis.com/donate or by texting WXRC to 50300 to donate €4.
Exciting times ahead

Client Art group Sept-Nov 2017
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.

HOW TO HELP YOURSELF STAY SAFE
- Set clear limits on acceptable behaviour
- Say what you’re thinking and feeling – don’t assume that someone else knows
- Don’t exploit others sexually; listen and respect what your partner is saying – NO MEANS NO

- Watch out for each other – be protective of your friends and ask them to keep an eye on you
- Watch what you’re drinking; make sure it’s not tampered with
- Make sure to have the taxi fare home & always tell a freind where you are going
- Ensure you have credit in your phone
