Polish and Eastern European Christian Family Centre

The Polish and Eastern European Christian Family Centre (PEEC) is a charitable organization based in the United Kingdom, specifically aimed at supporting individuals from Poland and Eastern Europe. It functions under the charity number 1126136.

Mission and Activities

PEEC's mission is to provide support to individuals in need, focusing on those from Polish and Eastern European backgrounds. The centre offers a range of services, including:

• Individual Support: Assistance in understanding English documents and procedures, helping with housing matters, and facilitating communication with organizations such as the Job Centre, local councils, and embassies.
• Community Activities: PEEC organizes activities for parents and babies, elderly people, and provides volunteers with training and development opportunities[3][4].

Refugee Support

Significantly, PEEC has played a crucial role in supporting Ukrainian refugees fleeing the conflict in Ukraine. With funding from partners like Haringay Council and the London Community Foundation, they have assisted over 600 Ukrainian refugees. This support includes aiding with visa applications, finding accommodation, opening bank accounts, and accessing essential services like health and education[1][2].

Operational Scope

PEEC's services are primarily targeted at residents of Haringey, although they do support individuals over the age of 18 from across the community. This focus helps ensure that local needs are effectively addressed while also contributing to broader social integration efforts[2].
