This week I tabled an Early Day Motion congratulating @IrishCommServ on their 40th anniversary.
I had the pleasure of working with them for my Coffee & Advice Drop-Ins & saw for myself the difference they make to the lives of my constituents in #Bexleyheath & #Crayford.

It also thanks them for their work in the community, and wishes them well for the future.
On 27th November 2024, we celebrated 40 years of Irish Community Services at the Irish Embassy in London, hosted by H.E. Ambassador Martin Fraser & Mrs. Deirdre Fraser.
With music by Celtic Hearts, reflections from founding member Eileen Taylor, and the support of our incredible community, it was a night to remember.
Here’s to the next 40 years!
