The Claddagh Association is based in Western Australia and our mission is to support Irish people during times of crisis here in W.A.

With the Support of the Emigrant Support Program in Ireland we have just employed our first employee who will manage the administration functions within Claddagh leaving the committee to continue their community role.
Our work in the community includes support during serious illness, accidents, detention, seniors project, deaths and repatriation. In the past 12 months we have provided assistance to over 160 people in WA. We rely on our fundraising and the donations from the broader Irish Community to provide this much needed support.

Donations may be made via our website www.claddagh.org.au and all donations over $2 are tax deductible as we hold Gift Recipient Status.
