The Federation, in partnership with the London Irish Centre has recently released the report Fresh Perspectives: A Needs Analysis of the Irish Community in London. This report is the first large scale examination of the needs of the Irish community in London and revealed a shocking lack of faith of the Irish community in the welfare systems in place to assist them.
LaunchedinWestminster,thereportcalls for greater awareness among frontline social workers in helping Irish migrants;betterpreparationbyIrishpeopleplanningtocometoBritainandgreater responsiveness to the evidence ofneedbypolicymakers.
“The data showed that recent Irish migrants,olderIrishpeopleandIrish carers lack appropriate social support,feelthatmainstreamservices do not meet their needs and have a preference for culturally sensitiveservices,”saysco-authorJeff Moore, Director of Care at London Irish Centre (pictured left).“Thestudydemonstratedthe on-going health needs of the establishedcommunity,andshowedthat although the physical health of recentmigrantswasgood,manyself-reportedanxietyanddepression.”

Rob Hartnett is the founder of Sport for Business, an intelligence and networking business that builds effective links between sport and business in the community. He was born in London after his parents emigrated from Ireland in the 1960’s and returned himself to spend 15 years working in London within the sports and marketing arena’s. We spoke to Rob about the importance of partnership working between sports and business…
“In a modern age where mass mediahasbecomefractured,communicationhasbecomeinstantand society more diverse than ever before,sporthasbecomeoneofthefew universal languages that binds communitiestogether.
This is hardly a new concept to the IrishcommunityinBritainwhichhaslongmaintainedconnectionsbackto Ireland through news of the local club’s progress or through gathering behindnationalteams.
Whatwasalwaysknownisincreasingly becoming properly managedandencouraged.
Thisrequiresexpertiseandfunding.Sportsclubsthathavetraditionallyreliedoncollections,cakesalesandrace nights have to become more aware of the value they can bring to commercial partners in return for the investment that is needed to stay aheadofthegame.
Sport at every level has so much toofferbackbywayofemotionalengagementandaffinityforbusinesspartners that when properly marshalled,theresourceswithinthelocalclub,beitinGAA,soccerorrugbycanmakegreatappeal.

Those many Irish who have made a success in business should be brought on board to see what they can do to makethishappen,andtomakeitofvaluetothecommercialworld.
