HERITAGE: Tomasz Wisniewski, of the Worcestershire Polish Association, greeted Consul General of the Polish Embassy Mateusz St?siek (third in from right on the bottom right photo).
As well as Mr St?siek, Dr Mark A. Stella-Sawicki, Mr Wisniewski, and WPA COMMUNITY members celebrated the fifth nationwide edition of Polish Heritage Day in Worcester on Saturday with a historic visit. It was the first time that a delegation from the Polish Embassy in London has visited the city. The head of the Consular section, Consul General of the embassy Mateusz Stąsiek, visited Worcester with his family. Polish Heritage Day commemorates the sacrifices made by Polish people during the Second World War but also celebrated their ongoing contribution to Worcester and to Britain, as well as promoting and celebrating Polish culture, heritage of past generations, and Polish contribution to the cultural, economic, and social life of the United Kingdom.

Cllr Jo Hodges YOU will have seen in yesterday’s paper that work has begun on Worcester’s Arches cultural hub near to the Hive building. More of the railway arches in that area, which have been underused for many years, are being transformed into useful and attractive buildings. The city council, the university, Severn Arts, The Arch Company and Worcestershire County Council are working together to create a space for cultural activities in five of the arches there. I was delighted to join representatives from the other organisations for a photo on Monday to launch the £3 million project, which has been awarded a grant from Government’s Cultural Development Fund.
