A group of people who has decided to establish Polish Association in Northern Ireland was meeting together since December 2005. During our meetings we have noticed some shortcomings in the local information system. This is the reason for the delay of the accustom process within Polish people in a new reality. A lack of place where those in need due to language barrier can come along to get helped, advised or even talk to their compatriots turned out to be quite an obstacle.

It was 11 March, 2006 when Polish Association N.I. was officially set up with its rights, duties and aims. At the beginning of our activity there were only 9 of us, but with the passage of time we have grown out so as the accomplishments of Polish Association N.I.

The association does not focus on one area only - we think it is important to deliver a variety of information concerning employment, education, discrimination, health and life. We believe that by helping one person we can engage her/ him to cooperate with others and consequently to solve problems of the whole society.
