Help & Support Services

One of the key aims of our Society is to support those living in the Irish Community in Coventry.

This section of our website offers advice, on areas such as health & welfare, and guidance about the many ways in which we offer support to those within the local community, including our befriending service. It also includes a selection of useful links.

The Society frequently reviews its services to ensure that they remain relevant to all generations of the Irish community in Coventry and the surrounding areas.

The Society currently provides a range of culture and support services, including:

Befriending Support

The Shamrock, Claddagh and Carer's support groups were started during the Covid-19 crisis, these groups are currently paused. We hope to restart them soon.
