Message from the Manager, Deirdre Murphy

Meath Womens Refuge and Support Services (MWRSS) was established to provide information, crisis accommodation, counselling, outreach support, and transitional housing to women and their children who are experiencing all forms of abuse (click HERE to go to our Services Page). We strive to provide our clients with a safe, caring and non-judgemental environment, regardless of their economic, social or cultural background.

This website is designed to provide general information on our services and on our much needed fundraising activities.

If you are experiencing abuse you don't need to suffer in silence, call our Confidential 24 hour Help Line on 046 9022393.

With cutbacks and increased demands for our services the Refuge appreciates any donations from the public or businesses. Please click on the Donate Icon for more information on how to donate. Thank you.
