Elderly people
rely on small state pensions. Many children, especially those in
orphanages are vulnerable. The support for the handicapped is
inadequate. The Polish health service cannot supply some necessities,
such as long-term therapies, rehabilitation equipment and artificial
limbs in adequate quantity or quality. Even people with jobs often
cannot afford proper medical care.

Founded in 1981
In August 1981, in the midst of the Polish people's struggle against communism, the Federation of Poles in Great Britain received a letter from Solidarity Chairman Lech Wałęsa appealing for medical aid. In September Dr. Bożena Laskiewicz and her colleagues sent the first container of supplies from London to Poland. The Medical Aid for Poland Fund was founded shortly afterwards.
On 13 December 1981 General
Jaruzelski declared Martial Law and sent tanks on to the streets of
Poland. We sent our first three trucks of aid in January and two in
February 1982.
In total we sent 335 trucks. In 1988, free at last, Wałęsa was able to come, see one off, and thank us. History
Over the years we have sent millions of pounds of assistance, including 175,000 hearing aids, numerous artificial limbs, rehabilitation equipment, insulin pumps and specialist medicines. Today we can buy our supplies mostly in Poland. What we do
