Our Services
|
We provide a drop-in day service 4 days a week, from Tuesday to Friday where we offer a warm and welcoming space for our members to meet, catch up with old friends and make new ones. There are various recreational and therapeutic activities provided as well as regular outings and monthly tea parties. There is also someone on hand if you need advice or information. We organise large Christmas and St Patrick's Day parties giving everyone the opportunity to socialise and enjoy a wonderful day out - these are usually held in the Executive Suite of Millwall FC. Our day services are based in Bermondsey and Brixton and there's always a warm Irish welcome to greet you. Our community support services include an experienced team of assertive outreach, community and carer support workers and a volunteer support service that includes volunteer befrienders. The service is provided across south London, primarily the boroughs of Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark. We also provide a walk-in advice and information service 2 days a week - this is based in our shop premises in Bermondsey and also offers outreach advice for those unable to travel. Our community support service operates 7 days a week and includes a pub outreach scheme (crisis prevention) and a hospital visiting service focused on advocating for clients to ensure they receive an appropriate care package when discharged. We have recently introduced a bereavement support service that provides practical advice and support at a pivotal time for bereaved families and loved ones. We work tirelessly to keep our community connected by sending birthday cards, Christmas cards and regular newsletters as well as regular phonecalls and weekly/bi-weekly visits to our more vulnerable clients. For further information, please phone the office on 020 7237 5841 or email info@irishinlondon.org. |
