Challenge Events

RUN FOR COMMUNITY CONNECTION

Want to take part in a challenge event and raise money for the LIC?

We provide well-developed and high-quality community services to very vulnerable clients, alongside a strong cultural and heritage offer which keeps people connected to each other and to their history.

The increasing demand in recent years for our services – 35% more advice appointments in 2024 – means we need your help now more than ever to change the lives of the vulnerable Irish community in London.

By running for our charity, you can make a real difference – every £ raised from your run will go towards supporting issues of loneliness and isolation, mental health, homelessness, and poverty.

We have places at some of the most high-profile events in the UK, and we are so excited to offer the opportunity to take part.

If you would like to take part, fill in an application form and tell us why you want to raise money for the LIC.
