Who
Are The Forgotten Irish?
|
In the decade following World
War II, hundreds of thousands of Irish men and women
migrated to Britain.
They worked
as casual labour on building sites. They built the motorways
and the London Underground. They cleared and rebuilt
bomb-damaged towns. They worked on the land, in domestic
service and in healthcare.
Whether motivated by economics or
emotions, they left behind a country that was enduring
some of the darkest days of her history.
Now elderly, many of these men and
women have found themselves living alone in conditions
of poverty, isolation and homelessness. The Forgotten
Irish campaign was established to raise money for local
groups who provide these Forgotten Irish with resources
such as shelter, food and social outlets, enabling them
to live out the remainder of their days in comfort and
dignity. |
