About

The main objective of the organisation is to benefit elderly Irish people living in south east London (LB Southwark, Lambeth and Lewisham) by providing services to reduce their isolation and improve their wellbeing.

Our satellite drop-ins operate across the 3 boroughs offering a variety of activities, largely chosen by the clients that improve and enhance the health and wellbeing of our client group. They also act as community hubs providing up to date advice and information and support to access a wide range of voluntary and statutory services.

We provide community support/outreach support workers to seek out and visit those clients who are hard to reach, vulnerable and marginalised and access them into appropriate services. We have a team of volunteer befrienders who phone and visit isolated clients.

We also offer hospital discharge support, a pub outreach scheme, a carers support scheme and an advice and information service.
