Willow Domestic Abuse Services is appealing to the people of Meath to support its 2026 Christmas Appeal, raising vital funds to continue supporting women and children experiencing domestic abuse across the county.
Last year, 188 women and children stayed in refuge, while the organisation answered more than 1,600 calls to its 24-hour helpline. Willow supports over 700 women and children every year, providing refuge, counselling and support services.
The appeal has been launched alongside Credit Union Plus's annual Christmas raffle, with all proceeds going directly towards the charity's work.
Christmas can be an especially difficult time for those experiencing domestic abuse, and the organisation is reminding anyone affected that help and support are available.
Emily Maguire, Communications and Development Manager with Willow Domestic Abuse Services, joined us on The Agenda this morning to tell us more about the appeal and how the community can get involved.
