This year’s AGM was held on the 25th September with an attendance of 114 people at the Bedwell Community Centre.
The charity is continuing to grow with nearly 500 members who enjoy an array of activities and events.
Last year we created the ‘Luke Donovan Annual Volunteer Award’ to honour volunteers that showed the commitment and characteristics that Luke showed through everything he did. As all the fantastic volunteers do an amazing job, it was a struggle who to choose and the recipients of this year’s Award went to Dave and Gill.
Volunteers represent the INS in everything we do and we are proud to be known as friendly, welcoming and fun!
Irish Network Stevenage (INS) is a Stevenage based registered Charity and was formed in 2007 in response to the identified need that the level of support required by an ageing Irish population was increasing. It is governed by 7 Trustees which include service users and supported by a Project Manager and Social Activities Coordinator.
After its inception INS quickly grew as it became apparent that the needs of the elder Irish were the same as many older people throughout Stevenage, and INS evolved to provide support to all older people in Stevenage and the surrounding areas.
Today we have over 350 members who enjoy a variety of activities for mind, body and soul.
It was a heavy heart that the Irish Network Stevenage announced that their Chair, Luke Donovan died on Friday 9 June 2023.
