About us
Who we are
We are the heart of the Irish community and represent what it means to be Irish in London today, and we do so by showcasing the best and protecting those in need. More than 46,000 people a year benefit from our work, on-line we engage in excess of 100,000 and our media coverage reaches millions. We are particularly fortunate to have Dermot O'Leary as our patron.
Founded in 1954, we are the oldest and largest Irish charity in the UK. We are based in Camden with offices in West Kensington and Kilburn, and advice clinics in Ealing and Wimbledon. We are the only organisation that reaches every section of the 900,000 strong Irish Community in London and have greater levels of community engagement than any other organisation.
