During the pandemic and lock down we had limited activities to support our members. We contacted members of our day centre by phone every week, (befriending service), to give them support, advice, information and update on the current situation. Editing and sending newsletters to all members of the day centre with information from the centre, polish parish, and as well as some activities for them. We helped to complete the census forms by phone, face to face or personal visit if required. We provided hot meals with cooperation of other centres. Spiritual needs were met by sending polish traditional “holy bread" at Christmas. We helped to build a telephone network between members across Bradford.
An amount of £29k was transferred to the CIO by the former Polish Community Day Centre
