Europia have set up a befriending phone-line service for Polish people who are over-50 years old. Polish people will be able to ring 0161 826 3177 and have a chat with one of Europia’s Polish staff. This phone-line is for those who just want to talk to someone. Callers can discuss whatever they like. They can ask for advice about welfare or COVID-19, or they can just talk about how they are feeling.
Europia will be partnering with the European Women’s Group and with VESTA (a Polish Women’s Group focussing on Domestic Abuse) throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to provide support to victims of domestic abuse.
