AGM - Another year of growth, impact and community achievement
We are pleased to share the Luton Irish Forum Annual Review 2025–26, which was officially launched at our AGM. The report highlights another year of growth, impact and community achievement.
Some of the year's key achievements include:
Supporting 755 individuals and opening 840 welfare cases.
Securing over £1.34 million in additional income for local people.
Recording 14,814 attendances at our social groups and activities.
Delivering almost 8,000 volunteer hours, with volunteers contributing an estimated value of over £100,000.
Hosting our biggest-ever St Patrick’s Festival, attracting over 62,000 attendees on Parade Day.
The impact of our work is perhaps best reflected in the words of one of our service users:
"It was absolutely amazing... I never could have handled or coped without the fantastic support of the LIF... Amazing service, amazing people at LIF. Thank you so, so much."
These achievements would not have been possible without the support of our funders, partners, volunteers, members and stakeholders. Thank you for helping us to continue providing vital welfare support, cultural activities, youth programmes and community services across Luton and beyond.
We hope you enjoy reading the 2026 Annual Review and seeing the difference our collective efforts have made over the past year.
