Irish In Britain

Whilst originally set up to safeguard the needs of the Irish residents in Luton, LIF is now a truly representative community organisation serving Luton’s diverse vulnerable and socially excluded people. 

LIF provides welfare support through drop–ins, appointments and home visits relating to welfare benefits, housing, debt and provides practical support to engage with Ombudsman services, tribunals, courts and appeals. 

LIF coordinates a range of activities, groups and events which raise cultural awareness; promote health and wellbeing; improve quality of life; and foster better inter–community networking and co–operation through pioneering multicultural initiatives and school based workshops. 

LIF promotes health and wellbeing and community learning through talks; health MOT days; keep fit, yoga, dance, language, literary and art classes and computer clubs. LIF facilitates social opportunities through our luncheon clubs and has a 16–seat minibus that enables users with mobility difficulties to attend.
