The Monaghan Migrant Support Centre (funded by SICAP) provides a welcoming space where migrants can access information, individual supports, and inclusive group activities that help people feel connected, confident, and part of community life.
From English conversation classes and women’s groups, to family-friendly activities, health & wellbeing supports, and creative projects, our centre works every day to promote integration, inclusion, and wellbeing for individuals and families from diverse backgrounds.
Based in YWCA, North Road, Monaghan H18 KF98, the centre is open Monday to Friday, 9:30am–1:00pm.
If you are new to Monaghan – or know someone who is – you are very welcome to get in touch or drop in.
