Bandon Family Resource Centre

Bandon Family Resource Centre (BFRC) programme is set up to deliver universal and targeted services and supports to all individuals, families and communities in the Bandon area. Under the guidance of a voluntary board of management, family support workers and a coordinator work to meet the identified needs through face-to-face work, home visitation, group work, education and training.  We work with individuals and families who find themselves in vulnerable situations. When identified, they are supported through home visitation and practical support and include those referred by other agencies, schools, social workers and the Gardai. Groups are in place for specific client cohorts: young people, women, fathers and parent and toddlers. Children are facilitated in access with parents and families. BFRC is focused on Bandon and outlying area with a population of just less than 19,000. The charity is presently based in a small building in the town centre with easy access and parking.
