Anglo Polish Society
The aims of the Anglo Polish Society, which is a non-political and non-religious organisation, are to promote friendship and understanding between the British and Polish people and to spread among the British public accurate information relating to Poland.
We have been granted charitable status as our role in providing information, especially to immigrants to this country has become more apparent. We have also been praised by independent assessors for the educational aspect of our work.

South Gloucestershire Voluntary Sector Forum
The Voluntary Sector Forum is one network that every voluntary, community or social enterprise group or organization in South Gloucestershire can join regardless of community, interest or location.
It will meet regularly to share information about key issues that concern us all and work together to develop a constructive response.
It will strengthen the links between voluntary sector representatives and the groups they represent, provide a focus for consultations with statutory bodies, facilitate the two-way flow of information between the voluntary sector and the statutory sector, and provide an opportunity for voluntary sector organisations to meet, discuss, share expertise and decide on how to progress on key issues.
