About us

Our mission is to support, empower and connect European Nationals to navigate life in the UK, promote cultural diversity and inclusivity, and inspire community cohesion.

Our Values

We exist to support Central and Eastern European migrants to find their own individual and cultural identity and flourish in today’s Britain, so everyone can realise their potential. A commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion is central to the mission, vision, services and daily work of Europia. As an organisation we champion being led by lived experience and celebrating diversity.

We work to support people as full individuals and tackle the root causes of inequality that creates hardship in the lives of the people we serve. We recognise the overlapping and interconnected forms of discrimination that create an unjust society, including racism, misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia, ableism and classism. We work in solidarity with all marginalised communities, seeking to contribute to an inclusive, multicultural and equitable society, where everyone belongs

The work we do is underpinned by our vision for Europeans to be included and have a sense of belonging in Greater Manchester, to cherish, celebrate and share their identity and values.

Why we exist

The work we do is guided by our vision for Europeans to be included and have a sense of belonging in Greater Manchester, to cherish, celebrate and share their identity and values – contributing to shaping an inclusive, multicultural and equitable society.

Since Brexit, Central and Eastern European migrants have experienced more complex immigration issues which prevent them building stable lives in the UK. Anti-migrant narratives in the media creates division in our communities and can create a sense of isolation and exclusion for migrant communities. Labour exploitation and experiences of hate crime disproportionately affect Central and Eastern European migrants.

We exist to provide culturally appropriate, multi-lingual, person-centred information and practical support to vulnerable Central and Eastern European (CEE) migrant community members often at critical times in their lives.
