The Outreach Programme of the Mayo Women’s Support Services has tried to “reach further than” a concept of refuge as a building, and has established itself in communities throughout the county. Some women are geographically isolated, without transport or may have a disability which would make it very difficult for them to access a central location. Also, the existence of Outreach services in local areas raises community consciousness of the issue – it is no longer “a problem that exists somewhere else”.
Locations
There are 12 outreach locations in County Mayo – in Castlebar, Claremorris, Charlestown, Ballina, Ballinrobe, Achill, Louisburgh, Swinford, Kiltimagh, Westport, Belmullet and Ballyhaunis.
