About our centre
Mountview Family resource Centre is open 9am to 10pm Monday to Friday and at weekends as need arises. We want the centre to be a positive hub for the community allowing everyone to take part in:
family Support carried out by the principles of Community Development.
Our core aim is to support families with a particular emphasis on those most isolated and marginalised. Whether its by learning new skills, taking part in our recreational/educational classes and activities or our developmental programmes.
We also provide counselling for individuals, couples and families. Our play therapy service is for children aged 4 to 12 years.
