Important Website (Please take a look) “Irish Survivors in Britain”

Irish Survivors in Britain

In what has become an important time in the Journey of Survivors the ability for those supporting them, to co-operate, to share best practice and to create links for the betterment of Survivors lives has to come.

With the introduction of the below website, which links up the different Survivor services in Britain to great effect, this process has begun. Survivor support services for the first time have been categorised and listed in one common area and the Federation of Irish Societies deserve tremendous praise for the work they have done in relation to this.

This information is important for you, for any friends/family members you may have living in the UK and crucial to the ongoing development of a unified support services, with one goal in mind – to provide the best Supports to Survivors and their families.

Please take time out to have a look at the website – indeed should you have any ideas/comments or would like to see something added reply to micheal.j.walsh@rightofplace.com and I will ensure they are passed on.

Helen White, Project Co-Ordinator of the Project had this to say, which best describes the website:

“This website is for Survivors of institutional abuse in Ireland, who are now living in Britain. It is part of a wider project supporting a network of survivor groups and services, supporting people wishing to form survivor’s support groups, publicising events, providing information useful for isolated survivors or their families not already linked in, and raising awareness more generally. The site is administered by the Federation of Irish Societies. Linking, supporting, connecting survivors.“
