London Irish Pensioner Advocacy and Support

The Big Half 2018 · 4 March 2018 ·
Hello, Southwark Irish Pensioners Project (SIPP), www.irishinlondon.org, is run by volunteers with direct or first generation Irish connections. Its aim is to assist older Irish in South London. This can simply be as a friend all the way through to those with high dependency requirements that need an advocate.
I have volunteered with SIPP for the past decade, visiting some fine Irishmen who never went home again and who are at the end alone and needing support.
In that time, I have personally witnessed how SIPP have stretched a small budget over a huge number of abandoned and vulnerable older Irish people in south London.

Please give generously. I have seen how the money is spent and the good it does. There is also the added kick of seeing me waddle through the streets of East and South East London in vacuum packed running shorts, lock up your daughters.
