The Cornmarket Project was established in 1999 and is part of Wexford Local Development. It is a community-based treatment and rehabilitation project offering support to people in recovery from addiction and to those coming from a background of criminality. The mission statement of the project is ‘To reduce substance misuse, criminality and social exclusion in County Wexford by providing a range of best practice evidence based programmes.’
The project is located in the South East corner of Ireland and operates from four geographic locations across County Wexford: Wexford Town, Gorey, Enniscorthy and New Ross. The project’s thirteen separate programmes and services are delivered by a team of 32 people and range from low threshold practical supports for clients who are homeless and sleeping rough i.e. showers, laundry facilities, hot food provision and advocacy services, through to accredited training programmes, progression routes and employment opportunities.
