ST BRIDGET’S DAY CARE CENTRE
Clifford Street
Wexford
In 1967, St Bridget’s Centre opened its doors, housing the Old Folks Club and the services provided by the Club. In 1975 with the rapid growth of the services an enlargement to the existing premises took place. Then in 2001 a major project started to develop St. Bridget’s Centre so that now we have one of the finest day centres for older people along with rooms for Nursing, Physiotherapy, Showers, Chiropody, Hairdressing, and Speech Therapy. Other services provided include Transport, Meals, Dinners, Teas, Library Service, Aerobics, and Arts & Crafts, Social & Cultural activities & relaxation / Meditation.

WEXFORD WOMEN’S REFUGE LIMITED
Distillery Road,
Wexford.
Wexford Women’s Refuge provides 24hr crisis accommodation for women and children experiencing domestic violence in their own homes. On admission many families will present with very little as more often than not they will have no option, but to leave their homes in haste. In 2009, 67 mothers and 158 children sought accommodation in the Refuge. These statistics show that domestic violence is very prevalent in our community. The Refuge is open 24x7x365 and a 24hr Freephone Service is also in operation. It is 85% funded by the Dept. Health & Children and the other 15% comes from the Dept. Environment. Severe cuts were implemented in 2008 due to cuts in funding. These cuts will continue to operate in the foreseeable future.
