Big Irish Breakfast
Join in
Join in with Fréa’s Big Irish Breakfast this March and support vulnerable Irish people across the north of England.
Enjoy your fry or your fruit salad, your coffee or your cupán tae, and donate to Fréa. Then post a picture of your breakfast with #BigIrishBreakfast and inspire others to get involved, too.
How will money be raised?
We’re asking you to join in with Fréa’s Big Irish Breakfast at home, at work or in a community group and to make a donation to Fréa.
If you’re hosting guests, you could encourage them to donate what they feel, what they’re able or the equivalent cost of a café breakfast.
Your donation changes lives.
Why take part?
St Patrick’s Day is a day when Irish people all over the world come together to celebrate our shared heritage.
However, not everyone is able to join in the excitement of St Patrick’s Day celebrations in the same way. Many Irish people across the north of England struggle daily with the cost of living crisis, poor physical or mental health, social anxiety or isolation.
Funds raised through Fréa’s Big Irish Breakfast go directly to support vulnerable people from Irish communities across the North of England.
Fundraising Pack
This year, supporters of Fréa’s #BigIrishBreakfast will receive a fundraising kit to make their breakfast go with a bang! It includes a specially designed tea towel and a set of stickers - perfect for starting a conversation about Fréa’s #BigIrishBreakfast.
You can get in touch with your nearest Fréa charity partner - Irish Community Care, Leeds Irish Health & Homes or Irish Community Care Manchester - and arrange to pick up a kit directly, or simply drop us an email with a few details about your planned event.
