• Southwark Irish has a commitment to providing an Irish Arts and Education programme of the highest quality which is available to all Irish people of all generations and to everyone of all backgrounds and cultures who want to enjoy, share, experience and participate in quality Irish arts, sport, education and culture.
  
• Ensuring that Irish traditional culture (traditional Irish music, dance, G.A.A. underage football and hurling (boys & girls age 7 - 18), storytelling, language, theatre etc.) is kept alive and is available to be passed on to all future generations.
  
• Encourage new people and new audience to experience Irish arts and culture for the first time by providing free and low cost activities and events for local Irish and non Irish residents, children, young people, pensioners and those on low incomes.
  
• Southwark Irish sets out to encourage participation and to ensure that opportunities for participation in Irish arts and culture is made available to all children and young people, who may in turn become our professional Irish artists (writer, footballers, hurlers, musicians, dancers, actors, storytellers) of the future.

This will enable Irish people of all generations to realise that Irish Culture is something, which is "theirs" and can be justifiably proud of it.
