The welfare fund for those in need
Colm McGrath • May 28, 2020
The ‘Friends of Ireland Welfare Fund’, is a mechanism in partnership with the Embassy of Ireland in New Zealand and a number of Irish Societies and Community Organisations.
The aim of the fund is to assist Irish people in Aotearoa New Zealand with limited or no capacity to pay for necessary goods and services with respect, compassion and sensitivity. For the purposes of this policy, Irish people are defined as any individual who has an Irish passport.
The Fund will have an assessment process which all clients must comply with. Financial assistance will be short-term crisis payments only.
