About Us
What is Fréa?
Fréa brings together three independent, long-established Irish charities in the North of England. By working in partnership the charities aim to connect their work and further extend the ethos of care, culture and community that drives their charitable work.
The work of the three charities focuses on improving the health and well-being of vulnerable members of the Irish communities across Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool metropolitan districts.
The charities offer practical, emotional, and cultural support to thousands of vulnerable Irish people each year, including elderly Irish people who live alone and those living in poverty, isolation, and loneliness.
