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. This Club is based in All Saints Community Church hall, 105 New Cross Road, SE14 5DJ and we're pleased to say we re-opened in September. You will find us there every Tuesday from 11am to 3pm - you're welcome to join us for a game of bingo, refreshments and plenty of chat!
Following on from the success of the New Cross Club, we opened another satellite Club in Brixton to bring the Club closer to Irish pensioners living in Lambeth. The Brixton Club is now based in The Lady of the Rosary Church hall, 364 Brixton Road, SW9 0TH. A warm Irish welcome will greet you there every Wednesday from 11am to 3pm. And finally we have reopened our Bermondsey Club which is held in the TRA hall above the library in the Blue, SE16 3UQ. Yoga classes have resumed at 11am followed by various activities ... depending on what you want to do! The Bermondsey Club is open every Thursday from 11am to 3pm and you're very welcome to join us. |

Our shop, also in the Blue in Bermondsey (6 Market Place, SE16 3UQ) is open every Tuesday and Thursday for Advice and Information from 10am to 3pm. This is a FREE service and is currently on an appointment basis only due to coronavirus restrictions, so please phone the office on 020 7237 5841 or 0800 1577783 to book an appointment. Generally, advice is sought on health and housing issues, social services, welfare benefits and Irish pensions. In addition, we can help with more general issues such as form filling e.g. Dial-a-ride/ComCab and blue badges, passport applications and bus pass renewals and if we are unable to assist you, we will find you someone who can.
If you are unable to travel to the shop, we can visit you at home - again please phone to make an appointment.
Our community service comprises an experienced team of outreach and community workers, a carers support worker and our new Volunteer Programme which incorporates our volunteer befrienders and a lot more ... we will update you as it develops!
We also have a pub outreach scheme and a hospital visiting scheme although this scheme is restricted due to coronavirus. Most recently, we have developed a bereavement support service for loved ones/families that provides practical advice and support at a pivotal time.
