Welcome!

Hello and welcome to the website of the Polish Community of the Valleys Association.  The Association was formed in November 2010 after many requests from members of the Polish community in Merthyr Tydfil. We realised however that the information provided in this website is useful to all newcomers to the area. It is designed to help newer residents find out about life in Merthyr Tydfil and the wider Valleys area.

We recently received funding from Welsh Government to revamp our website and this is the result. We hope you like it! You can switch between languages by clicking on the names above.

Please feel free to browse the website and get in touch. We welcome your feedback and ideas. If you would like to help us by providing information or doing some translation for us, please get in touch.

While we try and keep the information as up to date as possible and try and review it as often as possible we cannot guarantee the validity of the information found here. The content of any given article may have changed.
