Irish In Britain

Fréa(*) brings together three independent and long-established Irish charities in the North of England,  Irish Community Care (based in Liverpool delivering services across the North West), Irish Community Care Manchester, and Leeds Irish Health and Homes.

The work of the three charities focuses on improving the health and well-being of the vulnerable members of Irish communities of all ages across the North of England.  Fréa’s objective is to combine the fundraising activities of each of the charities to maximise the financial sustainability of each organisation.

Fréa empowers these charities to become more proactive, resilient, and self-sustaining through combined clustering, collaboration and shared skill sets which helps decrease overheads and builds diverse and sustainable funding streams.

* Fréa is from the Irish word ‘fréamh’ meaning ‘root’ and reflects how as charities we are anchored and strengthened by our shared heritage, which, through careful cultivation and ambitious growth, enables   us to flourish.
