Volunteers are a critical and core part of our service provision ..

"We do it simply because we want to"

The Birmingham Irish Association, like many charities, relies on the invaluable input of volunteers. But we also seek to ensure that their experience is fulfilling and rewarding.  (Download Summary Here)

Our dedicated volunteer team are part of what makes Birmingham Irish what it is today ..

We have a dedicated team of volunteers, without whom our work would simply not be possible. 

Birmingham Irish provides a free, non-judgemental and confidential service to all communities within and outside Birmingham. 

We aim to provide the best possible service and we work in partnership with other organisations to achieve the best outcome for our clients.

At the heart of everything we do is the Birmingham Irish community and our
volunteers are crucial and centre-stage in helping us transform and change the lives of this community. 

From the moment you step into our front office or attend our dementia centres, our amazing volunteers are your first port of call.

In our front office they help with your passport applications, provide you with advice about services available, refer you to the appropriate member of staff depending on the problem you may have; be it benefits, legal, housing or health issues.
They are also very good at helping you choose well known Irish store cupboard favourites from our on-site shop.

In our dementia centres volunteers support the service users with activities, socialising, quizzes or even just simply sitting down to have a chat over a cup of tea.

Do you feel you have some time to spare, would like to learn new skills, meet new people or use your existing skills to support our community?
