Building community support networks and empowering families to face the challenges of modern living. A centre that was once on the brink of homelessness has now cemented itself as a permanent pillar of support for individuals and families in need. For those who are familiar with the work of the Gorey Family Resource Centre (GFRC), the continued community support that the centre provides isn’t just a story of financial success and organisational fortitude—it’s a testament to the resilience, determination, and community spirit that fuels this vital hub in County Wexford, Ireland. Facilitated by the Social Finance Foundation and Community Finance Ireland, financing from the CEB played a pivotal role in securing GFRC’s future. When the centre faced eviction due to the sale of its rented premises, the team initially scrambled to find alternative rental options—until they discovered the possibility of community-backed finance. https://coebank.org/en/ #Ireland #socialfinance
