Two days to go. Nicholas Punter has done the miles. Now it's your turn to support his fundraising.

Nicholas runs the Royal Parks Half Marathon for icap on Sunday the 11th of October, 13.1 miles through central London, alongside four others taking part for us.

icap has been the only charity in the UK dedicated to the mental health of the Irish community since 1996. Thirty years of counselling and therapy for people who left home and found the leaving harder than they expected. 96p of every £1 raised goes straight into that work.

Whatever you can put behind Nicholas before Sunday goes directly into it.

A donation to Brian Mc Manus on Sunday is not really a donation to a race. It is an hour of therapy for somebody who needs one.

Brian runs the Royal Parks Half Marathon for icap on Sunday the 11th of October, one of five taking part for us.

Here is what the money does. icap provides counselling and therapy to Irish people living in the UK, delivered by therapists who understand the experiences of being Irish. Last year, we delivered more than 8,000 hours of it to over 400 clients, a great many at no cost or at low cost, and 96p of every £1 raised goes directly into that work.

Brian has done the training in the dark mornings. The donating bit is considerably easier.

On Sunday morning, Kate Tobin will run 13.1 miles through central London's royal parks. She is doing it for a charity that exists because leaving home is harder than anybody admits.

Kate is one of five people running the Royal Parks Half Marathon for icap on the 11th of October.

icap has spent thirty years providing culturally sensitive counselling and therapy to the Irish community in the UK. Emigration gets sold as an adventure, and for plenty of people that is exactly what it turns out to be. It is also a long run of small losses that nobody warns you about, and those losses have a way of surfacing years later.

That is the work Kate is running for. 96p of every £1 raised goes straight into it.

13.1 miles is not something you decide to run on a whim. It takes months of early starts and long weekend runs no one else sees.

Cian Hallahan has put all of the hard work in, and on Sunday the 11th of October he runs the Royal Parks Half Marathon for icap.

Every pound he raises goes into counselling and therapy for Irish people living in the UK. That means therapists who understand what it costs to leave home, who understand the weight carried by people who survived institutional abuse, and who do not need any of the background explained to them.

96p in every £1 icap raises goes directly into that work.

Cian has done the training. The least the rest of us can do is chip in.

icap has been here since 1996, and we are still the only charity in the UK dedicated to the mental health of the Irish community. Last year that meant more than 8,000 hours of counselling and therapy for over 400 clients, a great many of them at no cost or at low cost.

Sarah is doing the hard part. Yours takes about a minute.

If you were at the Electric Ballroom last Friday, you will know exactly what we mean when we say the last song nearly took the roof off.

Every act on the line-up came back out for a rendition of Galway Girl and the whole room sang it with them. Before that, Mundy some of his most famous songs, To You I Bestow, Mexico and July. The great Joe O'Neill was back on MC duty, The Reels returned for their second Shindig, and JESSIKA, Hannah McRoche and Peter Richardson each brought something different to the line-up.

icap has been supporting the mental health of the Irish community in Britain since 1996, and this year marks thirty years of that work. Last year alone our therapists delivered more than 8,000 hours of counselling and therapy to over 400 clients, a great many of them at no cost or low cost. 96p of every pound raised on the night goes directly into that.

The full write-up is now live on the blog, with more on where the money goes and why we keep doing this.

The last song of the night had every act on one stage and the whole Ballroom singing Galway Girl back at them.

Thank you to everyone who came to An Irish Shindig, and to the five acts who made the night a massive success. Mundy headlined and played his famous tunes July and I Bestow to You. He also played Revelate in memory of Glen Hansard. JESSIKA was extraordinary. The Reels were a class act again, as they have been every year so far. And Hannah McRoche and Peter Richardson, both new to this bill, played like they had been on it for years before joining everyone else out front for Galway Girl.

Thank you as well to Kate Fuller, icap's hospitality ambassador, and her team at the Electric Ballroom, who made a complicated night look easy.

icap is thirty this year, and nights like last night help fund the counselling and therapy we provide the Irish community in the UK. If you would like to help keep it going, support our 30 for 30 campaign: https://www.icap.org.uk/icap-30-for-30-campaign/

When people back home picture the Irish in London, they tend to picture the good bits. The weekend visits, the sessions in the pub, the construction firms doing well.

icap trustee Cllr Troy Gallagher has spent twenty five years seeing the rest of it. In a new piece for Donegal Daily, the Letterkenny native and former Labour Mayor of Islington writes about the ageing, isolated and vulnerable members of our diaspora, and the organisations quietly holding the net underneath them.

He covers the Irish Chaplaincy in prisons and with isolated older people, Causeway Housing on homelessness, Safe Home Ireland helping older emigrants return to Ireland, the Irish Cultural Centre keeping the culture alive in Hammersmith, and icap providing culturally sensitive therapy for Irish people in the UK.
