Community Session: Europia

Running since February 2022, Manchester Pride's monthly Community Sessions invite a Manchester based LGBTQ+ community group to host an event for their members and members of the public to network, skill-share and celebrate the incredible organisations that make Manchester such a brilliant place to live.

EUROPIA

"We are Europia, the only registered charity in Greater Manchester that works exclusively for the benefit of Central and Eastern European nationals. Our organisation’s main aims are to empower, support, train and represent members of these communities so they can confidently live and work in Greater Manchester while maintaining their cultural identities.

Europia predominantly works with vulnerable migrant communities who experience discrimination, labour exploitation and daily barriers to accessing public funds. We are dedicated to providing the resources they need to access services, build their social capital, and become fully integrated members of their local communities. We empower people to gain the support needed in the short term, achieve lasting positive change in their lives and feel confident to contribute to society."
