Clare McKenna
is a company set up to look after the wellbeing and health of the Irish
community in London.
I approached Mind Yourself with the idea of setting up a project that would record and document stories of Irish emigration.
It has since been growing and evolving from strenght to strenght. We have a fantastic team of artistically talented people who are all giving their time for free to push and develop the project further. From flash mobs, to printed books of origional short stories, to recordings. Some personal stories being published in the Irish Times. The constantant inpour of personal stories of leaving home for London is as relavent and important as ever.
We are curriently looking for people with skills in film and editing. If you would like to join the team, get in contact... no matter what your talent is...
