Why join?
Benefits to you
As well as access to a network for Irish in Sweden, membership entitles you to attend the society’s many activities at a discounted rate and to an e-newsletter with information of relevance to the Irish community in Sweden, discounts at some Irish-friendly businesses, amongst other things.
If you use Facebook, you can join our members’ group for advance information of events and access to tips and support from other members and their years of experience!
You will have access to a members' directory to facilitate contact between members, and other members-only information.
Support the Society's mission
Did you know that the Swedish Irish Society has been building friendships since 1949? The Society’s continued existence is a testimony to seven decades of volunteer commitment! All board members give their time voluntarily. Read more about how the board works here.
We help Swedes come in contact with Irish people and culture, and we enable Irish people in Sweden, particularly Swedish-Irish families, to continue to experience Irish culture, traditions and language.
As a member-driven organisation, run entirely by volunteers, we are completely dependent on active memberships for survival and input. We have many members who have been with us for years and years, but we also love to welcome new members. Each one brings their energy, enthusiasm and ideas, and ensures we respond to the evolving needs of our community.
Membership fees
Membership runs for the calendar year, from 1st January to 31st December. If you join after the 1st of October your membership will extend automatically into the following year and you will not need to renew for 15 months.
Fees: Family 315 kr | Individual 210 kr | Pensioner 160 kr | Student 105 kr
We offer a special introductory price for the first year - all memberships just 105 kr!
Where does your membership fee go?
Membership fees cover the running costs of the society and helps subsidise ticket prices for members for events. The society is completely volunteer-run and no fees are paid to board members. We have no premises of our own. Running costs are things such as membership systems, insurance, banking/payment fees, book-keeping software, materials, snacks for meetings etc.
