Last Thursday, we held a Volunteer Thank You Evening to celebrate National Volunteer Week and recognise some of our most dedicated volunteers.

We would not be able to do the work we do without the incredible support, time, and commitment of our volunteers. It was a wonderful evening, and we truly appreciate everyone who joined us to celebrate.

On the night, we were also proud to honour two of our long-standing volunteers, Patricia and Denis Bratton, who were awarded Honorary Memberships of Claddagh.

Patricia has served as Treasurer for the past 10 years, while Denis previously sat on our Seniors Subcommittee. Both Patricia and Denis have shown enormous dedication and commitment to Claddagh over many years, and we are incredibly grateful for everything they have done for our community.

Thank you again to all of our volunteers 💚

Have you visited Grill’d Subiaco yet this month? 🍔💚

Claddagh is proud to be part of the Grill’d Local Matters program throughout May! Every time you purchase a burger, you’ll receive a token to vote for a local community group.

We’d love your support - simply pop your token into the Claddagh jar to help support the work we do for the Irish community across WA. Every vote counts! 🙌

We had a wonderful time at our Seniors Lunch yesterday at the The Galway Ho**er 💛

It was a lovely afternoon filled with great food, chats, laughs, and wonderful company. Thank you to everyone who came along!

We're looking forward to the next one already ☘️
