REFUGE

This group of local people formed a committee to fundraise for the construction of a refuge in Tralee to provide a place of safety for women and children in County Kerry whose lives were affected by Domestic Violence - with the group being officially incorporated in 1992 as ADAPT Kerry Limited, T/a Kerry Women's Refuge & Support Services, with the refuge opening its doors to its first families in 1996... Today, we are a specialist domestic violence service, who in partnership with TUSLA - the Child & Family Agency - offer's a place of safety and a range of supports to women and children throughout the County of Kerry whose lives are affected by Domestic Violence... We offer safe and comfortable refuge place as well as outreach support. There is always someone to listen and help.
