The Centre operates on Community Development

The Forge Family Resource Centre established in 2006 provides a range of services to individuals and families in Pettigo and surrounding area on both sides of the border. The Centre operates on Community Development principles, in which individuals, families and groups identify their own needs and are supported to respond positively to those needs. The emphasis is on supporting individuals and families who are suffering disadvantage and marginalisation and to work with them to address those needs.

You Are Worth Defending!

A big thank you to Lyle from
Fermanagh Ju Jitsu - Lisnaskea, Fermanagh Schools and Self Defence Courses
for delivering our self-defence class today at The Forge FRC.

We learned valuable skills and techniques to help us feel more confident, improve our awareness of our surroundings and understand how to better protect ourselves.

A great reminder that self-defence is about building confidence, knowing what to do and recognising our own strength.

Remember, you are worth defending!
