Coronavuirus has 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 is now open again as we have strict coronavirus precautions its an appointment only service from 10am-2pm on Tuesdays. Please phone the office on 020 7237 5841 to make an appointment
Coronavirus has kept the Club closed for now but when its open it 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 closed for the moment but hopefully once the threat of coronavirus is gone it will be back to offering services like 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 also on hold due to coronavirus but soon we hope to once again offer light lunch and bingo and a warm Irish welcome to greet you there also.
