Friends of Irish Community Care (ICC) are taking part in this year’s Merseyraces to raise £1500 for the 2018 Annual Supported Holiday to Mayo.

Every September ICC take up to 15 frail older Irish people
back home to Ireland for a holiday.  It is a great opportunity to reconnect with home, family and Irish roots.

People who take part would be unable to make this journey on
their own and come back refreshed and energised and ready to face the
winter.  Participants said:

‘The trip is the best tonic anyone could have’

‘It’s great that ICC organise the trip, I can’t travel on my own and wouldn’t be able to take a trip home’

‘I hadn’t seen my family for 20 years, thank you ICC’

PLEASE HELP US REACH OUR £1500 TARGET
