💜☕ What a lovely morning at our Go Purple Day Coffee Morning in Kilrush Garda Station! ☕💜

Go Purple Day is an initiative led by An Garda Síochána with the support of domestic abuse services across Ireland. It aims to raise awareness about the supports and services available to people who experience domestic abuse.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, wore purple, enjoyed a cuppa, and helped support such an important cause. The morning was filled with great chats, delicious treats, and wonderful community spirit.

A special mention to Clan Clare Local Area Network (CLAN) is an interagency network working together to support those impacted by domestic violence and coercive control.
