Our goal is to promote the welfare of the community in general and Irish people in particular, in Manchester and its surrounding districts, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, religious or political considerations. We seek to deliver our service in partnership with local authorities, voluntary agencies, health authorities and local residents.

  • To relieve the effects of poverty, sickness, distress and old age.
  • To enhance quality of life through leisure and recreation.
  • To provide for the burial of those with no next of kin.

The objectives of the group are:

  • To achieve these aims using a combination of paid professional staff and volunteers who demonstrate with willingness, availability and capability to give community help.
  • To achieve these aims making the best use of the available resources, human, physical and financial.
  • To provide services which are sensitive to the cultural requirements of Irish people in Manchester and provided in a spirit of community and friendship.
