Under One Sky: The Faces of a Changing Britain

Polish and Eastern European Communities

Contributions: Polish and other Eastern European communities have been vital to the UK's labor force, particularly in construction, agriculture, and public services. They have introduced diverse cultural elements, enriching the UK's multicultural identity.

Challenges: These communities have faced xenophobic backlash, especially post-Brexit, with increased hate crimes and discrimination. The rise of far-right groups has intensified these challenges, leading to a sense of insecurity and marginalization among Eastern European migrants.
