Southwark Irish Pensioners Project provides a drop-in at 6 Market Place, Bermondsey, SE16 3UQ. It's actually a shop, situated opposite the Blue Anchor Library in 'The Blue'. The drop-in (or Club as it's become known) is open from from 11am to 3pm every Thursday (11am to 12 for a yoga class) and 2pm on Friday for a game of 25. The Club is a warm and welcoming place to meet up with friends and to make new ones, plus there are various social and therapeutic activities offered for you to join in as you please.
In August 2016, we opened our first satellite Club in New Cross to encourage those who, due to age or frailty, were finding it difficult to get to Bermondsey. The satellite Club is open every Wednesday from from 12 to 3pm at All Saints Community Church Hall, 105 New Cross Road, SE14 5DG. It offers stress massage, a light lunch and bingo every week and has the same warm, welcoming atmosphere as the Bermondsey Club. |

Following on from the success of the New Cross satellite Club, we opened another satellite Club in Corpus Christi Church hall in Brixton Hill, SW2 5BJ, again to bring the Club closer to Irish pensioners living in Lambeth. The Brixton satellite Club is open every Tuesday from 12 to 3pm and offers a light lunch and bingo and a warm Irish welcome to greet you there also.
Our community service comprises an experienced team of outreach and community workers, a wonderful team of volunteer befrienders visiting isolated and vulnerable people in their own homes and in care homes, a hospital visiting service, pub outreach scheme and a FREE walk-in advice and information service. The advice service is open from 11am to 3pm every Tuesday in Bermondsey.
You can also make an appointment outside these hours by calling the office on 020 7237 5841 or you can arrange for a home visit if you cannot get to the office. We offer advice and information on health and housing issues, social services,welfare benefits and pensions. In addition, we can help with general issues such as form filling, dial-a-ride,blue badges, passport applications and bus pass renewals. If we can't help you, we will find you someone who can.
