Polish Association Aberdeen invites a delegates from the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Edinburgh to come to Aberdeen on a regular basis, to allow members of Polish community to apply for temporary passports for their newborn children or for those whose Polish passports expired.
Until recently, travel to Edinburgh was required to apply for a new passport, which was especially difficult to families with small children, and for those who need to rely on a public transport.
Now it is possible to apply for passports here in Aberdeen, which is much more convenient.

We appreciate the fact that Aberdeen is in general safe city to work and live in but on some occassions people may feel differently. That is why, together with Aberdeen Safer Community Trust, we are giving away personal alarms free of charge to everyone who may require them. If you either work late shifts, are a women walking home alone or basically need this additional peace of mind, we can supply you with a personal alarm.
Just three spoonfuls of blood are enough to save a newborn's life. Blood is also necessery for people with leukemia, victims of accidents or for surgery.
Friends and PAA members regularly meet at Blood Donor Centre in Aberdeen to give blood together.
Join us anytime - any healthy person can selflessy help other people.
All information about next blood donation day can be found on PAA website.
What we have acheived so far:
June, 17th 2009 - 4 donors, approx. 2 litres of blood
September, 29th 2009 - 6 donors, approx. 3 litres of blood

On Saturday the 12th of September, Polish Consul Anna Dzieciolowska from Polish Consulate General in Edinburgh visited Aberdeen. More than 50 people have met the Consul, to apply for temporary passports for their new born kids.
Until now, applying for the Polish passport required both parents to travel to Edinburgh with their children. Providing this service in Aberdeen not only saved parents’ time and money but, what is most important, did not require travelling long distance with the infants. It was also convenient for couples who do not own a car and need to rely on public transport.
We would like to thank Sheena Crossan, of Third Level Resources Ltd., for allowing us to stay at her offices at 35A Union Street until late evening, to serve everyone. Special thanks to PAA members, Marta, Barbara and Edward for their support during the event.
Visit was organised by Polish Association Aberdeen (PAA). PAA plans to organize such event on a regular basis. More details will be published at the Association's website, www.paaberdeen.co.uk
