In the past few years we have delivered a number of successful projects:
2009: Polish Cultural Festival

2010:The Experiance of Polish Scottish Integration- A research and community consultation project funded by “Investing in Ideas” Big Lottery Fund. The project created a platform to discuss the process of
integration in Scotland, and allowed us to learn more about the needs and barriers to integration for the Polish migrant community in Scotland. It also generated ideas and recommendations to design better informed services and projects responsive to the needs of the community. (The Polish-Scottish Heritage Trail is one of the projects based on the outcomes of this research).
