Our mission is to promote Polish community cohesion and integration within UK society by building bridges and strengthening relationships. The aim is to increase migrants (and others) knowledge and awareness of services available and to enable self-help to achieve a more fulfilling life. We hope to see these persons as full members of the community, who can use their qualifications and experience with confidence and passion and release their potential. Taking part in the community will also help to act against hate crime by encouraging mutual understanding and respect for cultural differences.

At the moment, Poles in Need CIC provides family support through a dedicated helpline open three days a week, via email and Facebook messenger. One to one consultations are also provided by our addiction therapist and family support worker. We are very passionate in connecting people and creating an opportunity for them to make new links with individual people as well as voluntary and statutory organisations. This is achieved that by our attendance at various forums and conferences, and by our organisation of community events.

As an organisation we have a unique reach into the Polish community in the UK. Historically, there is a great distrust of statutory services/professional in put amongst Polish people in the UK.  Our organisation is trusted by the community and approached by individuals seeking support. This means that we also provide information to other organisations with regard to the needs of the Polish community, and make them aware of the difficulties or barriers to communication and participation.
