We are honoured to have Claddagh featured in a recent article in the Sunday Independent, shining a light on the vital role our organisation has played in supporting the Irish community in Western Australia for almost three decades.
Through personal accounts and reflections, the article captures the heart of Claddagh’s mission: ensuring no Irish person in Western Australia faces hardship alone. It acknowledges the dedication of our volunteers, the strength of community partnerships, and the lasting impact of support offered in times of crisis, loss and isolation.
These stories are a reminder of why Claddagh exists, and why community-led care and connection remain as important today as ever.
We are deeply grateful to the Sunday Independent and to author Stephen Milton for taking the time to tell these stories with such care and respect. We also thank everyone who has been part of Claddagh’s journey – our founders, volunteers, supporters and the wider Irish community, whose generosity and commitment make this work possible.
