The Limerick Centre was founded in 1980 as Limerick Rape Crisis Centre, by a group of women and men who were concerned about the lack of services for survivors of rape and sexual abuse. Since then it has worked to provide comprehensive information, professional support and a quality counselling service for survivors of sexual abuse and violence throughout the Midwest region.

With centres based in Limerick, Nenagh and Ennis, Rape Crisis Midwest is a regional organisation serving Limerick, Clare and Tipperary. The organisation provides support and counselling to men and women who were sexually abused as children or recently raped/sexually assaulted.

In addition, Rape Crisis Midwest provide Garda and Court accompaniment as well as training and education programmes. They rely heavily on volunteers to deliver the services and encourage anyone interested, to attend the evening.

Rape Crisis Midwest ask that those attending the event email Tracey to confirm attendance or if you require further information you can email here.
