About us
Who we are
We offer advice, support and friendship to Irish prisoners in England and Wales, older Irish people, Irish Travellers and Gypsies and younger people with an Irish background. We're the only charity in the UK offering help to Irish prisoners across the whole of England & Wales.
Our culture and values
Today, we continue to meet and walk alongside Irish people, especially those most isolated and vulnerable such as Irish prisoners, older Irish people and Travellers. Our work stems from our spiritual roots, embracing the core meaning of Catholic, which is 'universal' and 'inclusive'. We work with people regardless of their religious background.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
Irish Chaplaincy works with distinct groups of vulnerable and isolated Irish people in Britain. From our many years of working with Irish and Irish Traveller people in prison we are very aware of the unjust discrimination which has existed and which continues for many within these groups. We commit ourselves to being conscious of and to recognise the particular struggles of all who face discrimination, especially people of colour.
