TOGETHER-RAZEM CENTRE

Together‑Razem Centre is a community‑focused organisation that has been supporting Poles and people from Central and Eastern Europe living in Ireland since 2006. Based in Cork, the centre’s mission – “we connect cultures, we build the future” – is delivered through a range of practical and social services designed to help newcomers settle, thrive and contribute to Irish society.

The heart of the operation is the Poradnia, a friendly advice hub where individuals can seek assistance with personal, legal or social issues, or be directed to specialist services elsewhere. In 2024 the centre provided 1 840 consultations across diverse areas of community life and welcomed more than a thousand visitors who came both for support and to celebrate their achievements. Together‑Razem also runs an active blog, a YouTube channel and regular events, such as the recent National Independence Day celebration at Cork City Council, which featured music, dance and poetry.

Through these initiatives the centre not only offers direct help but also creates a vibrant space for cultural exchange, fostering a stronger, more inclusive future for all its members.
