LONDON IRISH PENSIONERS CHOIR
Charity overview
Activities - how the charity spends its money
The Irish Pensioners Choir brings together older Irish people, most of whom are in their 70s and 80s. We use Irish music, culture and song to enrich the lives of older people, building friendships, laughter and prolonged independence. We promote wellbeing, movement and good health and tackle isolation, loneliness and distress.
