- Organizacja “Golden Age Social Day Care, Bradford” poprzednio znana jako „Polish Day Centre, Bradford” jest obecnie zarejestrowana jako organizacja Charytatywna czyli „ Charity ” z Charity Commission w UK. W związku z tym Komitet jest zobowiązany sporządzać sprawozdania z naszej działalności i wysyłać je do Charity Commission. Komitet również wysyła sprawozdania do Bradford Council aby utrzymywać przyznany nam przez nich grant, jak również do WYCAS, (West Yorkshire Community Accounting Service) który nam sprawdza i zatwierdza rozliczenia finansowe.
Aby wypełnić obowiązki organizacji charytatywnej, komitet i woluntariusze spotykają się regularnie, kilka razy w roku.
The organisation “Golden Age Social Day Care, Bradford” previously known as „Polish Day Centre, Bradford” is now a registered Charity with The Charity Commission in the UK. Because of this the Committee is required to provide a report of it’s activities to the Commission and also to Bradford Council from whom we get a grant to support our activities. We also provide this report to WYCAS, (West Yorkshire Community Accounting Service) who do official accounting work for us to provide us with an official financial statement for the Charity Commission.
In order to fulfil the Commission’s requirements for a Charity, the Committee members meet a number of times during the year.
- Day Centre jest otwarte w Środy i w Piątki od godziny 10:00 to 14:00. Klienci, za niewielką opłatą moga dostac dwu-daniowy obiad: zupa oraz główne danie . Członkowie biorący udział w spotkaniach „Day Centre” spotykają się ze znajomymi i przyjaciółmi. Promujemy caly czas „ niezaleznosc ” do naszych czlonkow Day Centre przez spotykanie sie z innymi osobami, przez nawiazywanie znajomosci i przyjazni z innymi uczestnikami spotkan. To pomaga w redukowaniu izolacji i poczucia samotnosci prze naszych uczestnikow.
Często organizowane sa różne zajęcia takie jak: delikatne ćwiczenia gimnastyczne, gra w domino, bingo, zajecia plastyczne takie jakie robienie kartek na swieta, Śpiewamy razem” przychodza do nas osoby z zewnatrz ktore prezentuja rozne tematy dla informacji i do dyskusji. W miare możliwosci planujemy wycieczki lub wyjazdy poza okolice, n.p. wyjazd do Llandudno razem z groupą „Przyjaciół Parafii w Huddresfield”, oraz inne atrakcje . Przyjeżdża to do nas regularnie fryzierka, oraz odbywają się różne imprezy, takie jak: urodziny członków, rocznice obchodzone przez członków, co-miesięczna msza św .
Najważniejszym jednak elementem naszych spotkań jest troska o samopoczucie klientów . Klienci przyjeżdżają do POKu taksówkami, używają również „Access Bus” dostarczany przez Braford Council, lub są przywożeni na miejsce przez członków rodziny.
The Day Centre is open on Wednesdays and Fridays from 10am to 2pm. Clients for a small fee can purchase a 2-course meal consisting of soup and a main course.
During our twice weekly social gatherings that are held in the Polish Community Centre we try to promote to our Members, independence through meeting others, to develop, maintain friendships and relationships.
This reduces isolation and loneliness by members engaging in activities such as the group meal times, class exercise, Singing together sessions and other game activities such as dominoes and bingo; craft lessons like making cards; we have invited speakers to encourage discussion, conversation, physical and mental wellbeing; planned trips, one of which was to Llandudno together with the Huddersfield Friends of the Parish.
We have, on regular basis, a visiting, polish speaking hairdresser during our session. We also organise other events such as member’s birthdays, anniversaries, etc. We also hold a Holly Mass once a month.
However, the main task of our sessions is to take care of the well-being of our members. For the twice weekly sessions our members come to the “Polish Community Centre” by taxi, Access Bus and also by friends or family members .
- Były prezentacje i sesje informacyjne na tematy: „Jak unikac Upadkow”, „Jak utrzymac cieply Dom”, spotkanie „Ciasto Walentynkowe przy winie”, „Miedzynarodowy Dzien Kobiet”, na ktorym jeden z Panow zaprezentowal roze dla kazdej obecnej Pani. Mieliśmy obiad światechny przed świetami Bożego Narodzenia w ktorym udział wzięli członkowie Day Centre wraz z zaproszonymi przez nich gośćmi oraz członkowie zarządu naszej Charity.
To wszystko pomaga naszym członkom w poczuciu własnej wartości, utrzymywaniu dumy z własnego wyglądu przez przygotowywanie się to tych spotkań, co z kolei pomaga w utrzymywaniu niezależności, i poczucia że jesteśmy częścią naszej wspólnoty.
There have been presentations and informative sessions on Falls Preventions, Warm Home, Valentine cake and wine party, International Women’s Day party where one of the gentlemen brought a rose for each lady in the room! Christmas dinner party for members and invited guests such as family and the Charity trustees. This helps the members with self-esteem, pride in appearance by getting ready to the venue which in turn helps with independence and self-help and a feeling of community.
- Nasza Pani Koordynator wzieła udzial w dwóch sesjach „ Community Network ” zorganizowych przez oddział „ Health and Wellbeing ” aby przedstawić naszą organizację innym, zewnętrznym osobom i organizacjom jak rownież aby zaczerpnąć różnych pomysłów od innych organizacji.
To duzo pomaga w zorientowaniu sie co sie dzieje w naszym Bradfordzkim okregu jak rowniez i w samej naszej Parafii aby pomóc ułatwić życie dla naszych członków.
Jestesmy nadal w kontakcie z członkami „Day Centre” ktorzy jeszcze nie wrocili na nasze spotkania po „Covid Lockdown” ze wzgledu an wlasne zdrowie. Staramy sie ich przekonac do powrotu do naszch spotkan co by na pewno dołożyło się do ich powrotu do zdrowia.
The coordinator attended two sessions of the “Community Network” from the Dept. of Health and Wellbeing to present our organisation and liaise with others. This gives invaluable insight into what is happening in the district and knowledge of how to help members with their lives. The members are informed of any meetings and the outcomes also what is happening within the Parish itself. The coordinator is still in touch by phone to members who had not returned after Covid due to ill health whilst encouraging them to return to the sessions; one member has recently returned to us.
- Jeden z członków zarządu wziął udział w nieoficjalnym spotkaniu z przywódcami społecznosci w Bradford i okolicy, gdzie dyskutowane byly sprawy dotyczące transportu dla uczestnikow Day Centre. Uczestnicy „Day Centre poinformowali zarzad ze byli bardzo zadowoleni ze mogą znów przybywać na nasze tygodniowe spotkania i spotykac sie ze znajomymi i przyjaciolmi. Jednak duza liczba uczestnikow Day Centre jest juz w podeszlym wieku i byly pytania na temat alteratywnego transportu do naszego osrodka. Sprawa bedzie przedyskutowana z czlonkami Zarzadu na nastepnym zebraniu.
A staff member had attended an informal meeting with other community leaders where the issue of transport arrangements was discussed. Members of the Day Centre have said how pleased they were to be able to attend our sessions and to meet friends They said that they we hoping it will continue. As some of the attendees are getting older they have been asking about the possibility of some different transport arrangements to get them to the venue. The ‘issue’ is on the next agenda for the trustees meeting.
- Pani Koordynator wziela udział w spotkaniu dotyczacym zdobywania funduszy na naszą działalność w „Day Centre” zorganizowane przez Bradford West. Raport bedzie zdany do Zarzadu na nastepnym Zebraniu.
The coordinator attended a funding ‘Top Tips’ network organised by Bradford West area for ideas and inspirations and will report back to the Trustees at the next meeting.

Staff have had new updated training regarding allergens and an allergy guide has been produced for all meals and snacks that can be accessed by any member or guest; members have been made aware of this.
- Jeden z uczestnikow „Day Centre” zapytał o wycieczce na imprezę „Polish Folklore Spectacular” która miała odbyć sie w Leamington Spa. Bylo przedstawiona propozycja ze jesli osoby chetne wziac udzial w tej
imprezie sami zaplaca za bilet wstepu, nasza organizacja zaplaci za transport na miejsce. Okazalo sie jednak ze ta impreza odbedzie sie w Londynie, co okazo sie za bardzo trudne i meczace dla naszych czlonkow „Day Centre”, wiec zrezygnowalismy z tego wyjazdu. W przyszlosci rozejrzymy sie za jakimiś imprezami w bliższej okolicy ktore by byly bardziej dostepne.
Widzimy bardzo pozytywna zmiane w tym ze nasi uczestnicy chca juz wychodzic gdzies dalej poza wlasny dom po tych wszystkich ograniczeniach zwiazamych z Covidem.
A “Day Centre” member asked about going on a visit for a “Polish Folklore Spectacular” thought to be held in Leamington Spa. Members were offered that if they pay for tickets then the organisation would offer to pay for transport. However, the performance is actually in London and the logistics plus timing would be too onerous for the members; although disappointed, they did agree that it would be too much to do in a day.
The coordinator has said she will look into any other more local theatre/performance opportunities. It was a very positive sign that the members are looking to venture further out, more confident after the Covid restriction.
