The Open Door Athlone

The Open Door project was first established in 2001 in Athlone and was one of the first projects of its kind in the country. Initially developed as a drop in centre for marginalized men, the project has developed over the years and now delivers training and one to one counseling to marginalized people in the county.

It has been supported over the years by FAS, DSAF, HSE, Westmeath County Council, Westmeath Employment Pact, Dept of Justice, Equality and Law Reform and the Midland Regional Drugs Taskforce.

The project was started by Athlone Community Taskforce and became a WCD project in November 2007 as part of the cohesion process.

As of December 2010, the Open Door project in Athlone has been managed by Merchants Quay Ireland.

The project will continue as normal, offering services to clients in Athlone and environs in the Parnell Square premises.

Westmeath Community Development wishes all concerned in the Open Door and Merchants Quay Ireland continued success in the project.
