Brief history

The East European Advice Centre was established in 1984. The organisation developed from the Polish Refugee Rights Group set up in 1981 in response to the plight of Poles stranded in Britain during the time of Martial Law in Poland. Since then, it has developed into a service for people from all East European countries. The vast majority of our clients are Poles.

Research

We regularly carry out research to get a better understanding of the needs of our current and potential clients. We want to understand the nature and level of needs of East Europeans living in England. We seek the views of East Europeans and key stakeholders through surveys, interviews and research.

Our latest research reports cover Homelessness Amongst East Europeans, Alcoholism in the Polish Community, and Conditions of the Elderly, Disabled and Housebound Living in the LB of H&F.
