Good governance, support & oversight is key to our success ..

All together we are much stronger ..

Birmingham Irish is governed by an elected Board of Trustees. They work closely with the Chief Executive, staff & volunteer teams, beneficiaries, funders and partners to ensure that our important work continues.

Our dedicated Board of Trustees help to make Birmingham Irish what
it is today ..

We have a dedicated group of voluntary trustees, 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.
