Description
The Worcestershire Polish Association is a non-profit, charitable community organisation that has been serving the local community for a decade. Our mission is to preserve and celebrate the shared heritage of both the Polish and British communities within Worcestershire. We are dedicated to honouring and protecting the cultural traditions, history, and values that unite us, fostering strong ties between two nations with rich legacies of resilience, sacrifice, and pride.
At the core of our work is a deep commitment to preserving Polish and British legacies, particularly regarding the brave individuals who fought for freedom, justice, and peace. We take great care in maintaining the graves of heroes, preserving memorials, and ensuring that the memory of our fallen veterans endures. Through regular maintenance, restoration, and the creation of new memorials, sculptures, and busts, we ensure that future generations can pay their respects and learn from the sacrifices made by those who came before them.
The Association plays a key role in organising remembrance events, including anniversaries, commemorations, and funerals for veterans, ensuring they are afforded the dignity and respect they so richly deserve. We are dedicated to supporting veterans and their families, offering both practical and emotional assistance, and recognising the invaluable contributions of those who have served.
We also take great pride in educating younger generations about the importance of history, heroism, and sacrifice. Through the creation of educational materials such as books, handbooks, and workshops, we ensure that the stories of bravery, solidarity, and the enduring friendship between Poland and the United Kingdom are passed down and never forgotten.
Our organisation is committed to fostering unity not only within the Polish and British communities but also with all other cultural groups. We work closely with the multicultural communities within Worcestershire, promoting mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation. By embracing diversity, we strengthen the bonds between all members of society, celebrating our shared values and building bridges across cultural divides.
We are also dedicated to organising cultural and social events that celebrate both Polish and British histories, cultures, and shared values. These events provide opportunities for connection, dialogue, and mutual support, allowing us to build lasting relationships and promote respect for one another’s heritage.
In all that we do, the Worcestershire Polish Association embodies the spirit of remembrance, unity, and service to the community. We believe that by preserving and celebrating our shared history, we not only honour the past but also contribute to building a brighter future together, where people from all backgrounds stand side by side in peace, understanding, and mutual respect.
Through our dedication to the memory of heroes, the care of veterans, and the promotion of cultural and educational initiatives, we aim to make a lasting impact on our community and ensure that the legacy of Polish and British bravery and friendship is never forgotten.
