Our Tablet Entertainment & Library Service (update)
Birmingham Irish • October 24, 2020
As you many already know, we at Birmingham Irish have extended many of our services this year in order to reach as many people as possible and to give a well-needed boost to our community, both physically and mentally.
With the help of our funders at the Department of Foreign affairs ESP, The Big Lottery and Birmingham City Council we have been able to launch and continually operate our incredibly popular tablet entertainment library service this year to help so many clients to battle loneliness and boredom whilst self-isolating.
To date, we have lent 80 iPads filled with vibrant entertainment content such as movies, TVs, apps and games to vulnerable people throughout our city and this service will be there for our clients and community as long as needed.
If you know someone who is self-isolating and would benefit from our tablet entertainment library service, please give us a call on 0121 647 5105.
One client said;
“Once someone from Birmingham Irish Association showed me how to use the tablet, it got easier to use and I feel so much more in touch with the outside world as a result of this. I’m delighted to have been offered it and thank you so much to you all.”
Welcome to another Birmingham Irish Association news update
We publish news and project updates keeping you up to date with details regarding our services and events, as well as other local developments and other news that will be of interest to our clients as well as other visitors.
John Mulry heads out in our minibus to collect our service users from their homes in the mornings, ensuring that they arrive safely to one of our Dementia centres across the City.
We have always marked St Brigid’s Day within our organisation. On the lead up to February 1st (The feast day of St Brigid) we celebrated in many ways during the week.
At Birmingham Irish, we feel that the beautiful language of Gaelic is an extraordinary gift that should be passed down from generation to generation with immense pride.
