## ABOUT DORSET POLISH CENTRE
We are growing charity mainly based for and by Polish people at Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch area with future Dorset range. Our aim is bonding the Polish local community and at the same time create more opportunities for collaboration and dialogue for our nationality with homegrown communities at various levels.
We strive to improve the quality of life for all by building stronger, safer and sustainable communities in a respectful and just society where diversity is valued.
On the 30[th] of March 2019 we changed our name from Dorset Centre 4 Us to Dorset Polish Centre to better reflect who we are, to be more recognisable by local communities, organisations and as suggested by our members and supporters to Dorset Polish Centre.
