Gorey Family Resource Centre is heavily reliant on volunteers as without our volunteers we would not be in a position to deliver our counselling service and some of our support services.
Volunteer counsellors working in the Centre are: Anne Colgan – Counselling Psychotherapist, accredited supervisor MIACP; MIAHIP; MECP. Anne’s role is to support the counsellors and work with the counselling sub-group to ensure the Centre continues to develop counselling services, in line with best practice.

Gorey Family Resource Centre current voluntary board members include: Beatrice Kinsella (Chairperson), Denise O’ Connor (Secretary), Rory Bracken (Treasurer), Trish O’Connor, Nigel Tate, Collette Fassnidge, Sunniva Collier, Noeleen Watson and Darina Ryan.
All members of the board are local volunteers, who give their time to support the delivery of the work in the Centre. They represent the general public with a broad range of backgrounds, experiences, expertise and knowledge of local and national issues. The VBOM meet on a monthly basis and have overall responsibility for meeting contractual obligations to funders.
