Welcome

Donegal Women’s Centre Service Provision during Covid – 19

Launch of our 16 Days of Activism Opposing Violence Against Women

On the first day of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence, we lit candles to remember all women who have been affected or are currently experiencing violence in their lives.

We acknowledge the strength and courage of all women who have walked up the steps of the Centre and reached out for support. Thank you for placing your trust in us.

 

Update 23.10.2020

Donegal Women’s Centre will continue to provide vital services to women living in the county.  If you have a clinic, counselling or listening appointment, please attend as usual.  Wear a mask but if you are displaying symptoms, currently isolating or are feeling unwell, you will need to contact us to re-arrange your appointment

 

Update 28.09.2020

We are pleased to confirm that all service provision will continue as normal here in the Centre.  We have all the health & safety protocols in place and all measures are in place to ensure that our staff, volunteers and service users feel safe and confident in coming into the Centre.

We are asking that you wear your mask until you meet with a staff member at the door.  You will then be guided through the process.

The Centre is not open for drop-ins (the exception to this is ILash clinic on a Monday evening).  If you need information or would like to make an appointment, please contact us on 074 9124985.

Update 30.06.2020

As the country moves through the phases of reopening, it’s more important than ever to look after your sexual health and wellbeing. The Sexual Health Information Project put together this useful information pack about what you need to remember, even though things are starting to feel more ‘normal’.

Update 30.04.2020

Delighted to have worked with Department of Justice & Equality in getting the message out that support services are still available for women who are feeling unsafe or experiencing domestic violence.

In line with current recommendations, we regret to announce that we have made the decision to cancel all face to face appointments & drop in services until restrictions are eased.

This has not been an easy decision & we appreciate the distress & anxiety that this decision will cause to our service users and women in the county.

We feel that it is the right course of action to protect the health & wellbeing of our staff, volunteers, service users & all our families.

However, you may still contact the Centre on 074 9124985, email us on womenscentrelkenny@eircom.net or send us a private message through Facebook.

Further information on our service provision is availble here. 

 

If you are experiencing symptoms, you should self-isolate, regardless of travel or contact history, and phone your GP.
