The Polish Family Support Centre in Edinburgh was established in 2009 with the aim of supporting Polish people living in Scotland. The organization's special goal is to provide assistance and support to Poles who may find themselves in difficult life situations.

The organization offers psychological and psychotherapeutic support, educational and advisory programs aimed at supporting personal and professional development. One of its main objectives is to promote social and cultural integration. The organization organizes events and workshops that help Polish people to adapt to life in Scotland and promote Polish culture and traditions within the local community.

An important aspect of the organization's activities is building a support network that allows for the exchange of experiences and mutual assistance. By creating a friendly and open space, the organization strives to ensure that everyone feels supported and has the opportunity to grow in a new environment.
