Innisfree recognises the importance of providing a culturally sensitive service for Irish people. Innisfree was set up in order to meet the needs of the Irish community and this remains at the core of our aims and values. However, in the spirit of integration and cohesion, we believe we have much to offer people in need from other ethnic backgrounds.

Innisfree is non-political, non-religious and non-judgemental. It caters for the needs of people from all backgrounds while retaining a particular knowledge and expertise with respect to the Irish community.

We are iN Business for Neighbourhoods and put our energy into creating places where people want to live. Our tenants are the driving force behind everything we do.

Innisfree is committed to the pursuit of excellence and improvement and is responsive to new ideas and change. At the same time, we recognise the importance of financial viability and solid performance which is open to scrutiny by all of our stakeholders.

Innisfree's aims guide the work of the organisation. They are summarised below:
