Who we are

We are a charity designed to promote Irish identity, culture and heritage and to improve the quality of life of the Irish community and others in Luton.

Luton Irish Forum is a registered company limited by guarantee with a fully accessible community centre where our welfare, cultural, social and volunteering services are co-ordinated and take place.
