Throughout the winter at Birmingham Irish Association we have re-introduced our Toy Appeal, which is focused on helping individuals and families who are struggling at Christmas due to the cost of living crisis.

With the help of GAA clubs, all Tolkien Primary schools and members of our community we have received an outstanding donation of toys again this year.

The response to our organisation’s appeals are always amazing, but this year with the crisis affecting even more people in our community it has touched our hearts to see the generosity and kindness that has been shown.

We have managed to deliver the toys to families in hope there will be lots of smiles this year on Christmas day, which would not be possible without the continued support we receive.

The Staff and Trustee’s at Birmingham Irish Association are truly grateful to everyone who has got involved, had amazing community spirit and made a difference to a child’s Christmas.
