Our success in providing a high quality service is evidenced by nominations for its professionalism and expertise by service-users and community groups for the Mayor’s Awards in Galway City in 2015, and DVR was the outright winner for outstanding work in the Community Facilities category at the Cathaoirleach’s Awards for County Galway in 2019.

This was a substantial achievement and was in acknowledgement of over twenty one years of care provided to over 1500 women and children impacted by domestic abuse in Galway City and County as well as its ongoing public awareness and education work throughout the county. DVR has previously been nominated for best Volunteer Programme in Galway City Mayor’s Award in 2015.
