West Sligo FRC

West Sligo FRC CLG. is a not-for-profit organisation established in 2006 in Easkey, Co. Sligo and was known as Easkey Family Resource Centre. In order to be more inclusive the Board changed the name of the organisation to West Sligo Family Resource Centre CLG. and relocated its core operation to Enniscrone.

West Sligo FRC provides a range of services to people and organisations within the West Sligo area which stretches from Beltra to the Mayo border. Those services include personal support for example second chance adult education, mental health & well-being, and events which give information on a range of topics from health and welfare and other matters which may be pertinent to the area.
