We at Cobh FRC are putting together our 3 year work-plan for the coming years and would love your input. If you have any ideas for activities, classes or groups, or if there's an issue in the community that you think Cobh Family Resource Centre may be able to help with, please submit your feedback in the form below. 

You can also help out by completing our online questionnaire at the bottom of the page. You can choose to remain anonymous or leave your name and contact details. The simple questionnaire should only take a few minutes. Thank you in advance for your feedback and help.​

Don't forget, the Care & Repair Team at Cobh Family Resource Centre in conjunction with Age Action have FREE Carbon Monoxide Alarms for anyone aged 65 or over in Cobh and around the Great Island. Carbon Monoxide is extremely difficult detect as it is odourless and colourless so getting an alarm fitted is vital. Our volunteers can do that FREE OF CHARGE! If you have an open fire, stove or gas appliance, contact Stephanie on 021-4816103 to arrange a visit from our volunteers. For more information about the initiative and service read the article below.

Cobh Family Resource Centre is delighted to be running another Parents Plus course, due to begin in January 2017. Following very positive feedback from last years programme, we would now like to invite parents to contact us if they would be interested in attending the course. Depending on need in the community, we will either be running a 'Mid Year's' or 'Teenage' programme. 

The focus of the the Parents Plus Programme is on finding solutions to problems and creating more effective ways of relating to children. The overall aim of the course is to help parents not only solve discipline and other childhood problems, but also for parents to develop closer and more satisfying relationships with their children.

For more details about the course please see Parenting Plus Courses 

Call Bernadette or Jane at CFRC on 021-4816103 to find out more or register your interest in the course. Spaces are very limited so please get in touch soon to avoid disappointment.
