Achlèvèments and performance
Significant activities and achievements against objeGtiv&s
The POLGA school year started in September 2024 with 165 young participants and 24 teachers and assistants. A
new group of 3 year old children joined our school nuisèry Ljnit, bul the most Slgnificant development was the start
of our Youth Club, led by Agnieszka Bialek and Piotr Libu15ki-both experienced teacher5 working with the teenagers.
We had an enthusiastic response from the parents in régard lo the Youth Club, perhaps because teenagers are
under-represented in every Polish Saturday school in the UK. This is a promising start to this new project and we
hope the Youth Club attracts more young people to join our school.
POLCA hèld a number of extra-curricular events during the school year, and also partiapated in a number of evènts
and compelrtions in in collaboration with other Polish community charities.
The end ol the year ushered in a refreshed membership when some ol the founder members were replaced in July
and plans were put ir) place lo in¢r8ase the number of MeTllbers and Trustees.
