A Happy New Year message from the Staff and Trustees

Birmingham Irish • January 22, 2023

We hope everyone in our community had a special, relaxing Christmas time spent with loved ones.

We would like to wish you all a Happy New Year, in the hope that 2023 is filled with positivity, joy and happiness.

We would like to share a poem by Jackie Kay “Promise”


Remember, the time of year

when the future appears

like a blank sheet of paper

a clean calendar, a new chance.


On thick white snow

You vow fresh footprints

then watch them go

with the wind’s hearty gust.


Fill your glass. Here’s tae us.

Promises made to be broken, made to last.


(From 'A Poem For Every Day Of The Year')

Thank you for your continued support of our organisation throughout the year of 2022. We look forward to seeing you all for another year of success.


From all Staff and Trustee’s at Birmingham Irish Association.

Our offices are back open from Monday to Friday, 10:00am - 3:00pm

Happy new year wine glasses
