Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Éireann in Britain is bidding to become a dementia friendly organisation. Working across Britain since 1957 Comhaltas has been a significant contributor to supporting and maintaining the Irish community in Britain through promotion and teaching of our traditional arts. In its 60th year Comhaltas is looking to increase its support for the wider Irish community in Britain by becoming a dementia friendly organisation and assisting those living with dementia to live better.
In order to do this Comhaltas is taking part in the Aviva Community Fund. An open competition in which projects compete to gain funding to make a difference in their community. Our project ‘Songs from a Forgotten Memory’ is now at the public voting stage and we need every member of the community to cast their votes in support of this project.
