UK Registered Charity · Est. 2013

BY STUDENTS. FOR STUDENTS.

We unite Polish student societies across British universities — advocating for, representing and supporting Polish students and everyone passionate about Polish culture in the UK.

Who we are

One federation.
A nationwide community.

The Federation of Polish Societies is a UK Charity Commission-registered charity, focused around the integration of Polish students, and those interested in Polish culture, studying at British universities. Our aim is to advocate for, represent and help Polish students in the UK.

We were established in 2013 to help foster collaboration between different Polish student communities in the UK and represent their interests before both public and private bodies in the UK, Poland and the EU.
