Welcome!
Norfolk Polonia CIC is a polish and non-profit organisation working for the minority groups in Norfolk, especially Eastern Europeans. In 2021 we became West Earlham Community Centre managers, providing essential support (free general advice, English lessons or cultural events) to the local community and Eastern Europeans.
The organisations are led by: Pawel Jelenski (CEO & Financial Director), Dorota Darnell (Operations Director), Hanna Jaskiewicz (Honorary Director) and volunteers.
