UK, Ireland / Poles working in Manchester, England - request for facts [34]

Merged: Polish people in Manchester?

Hi everyone

Basically I'm a student of Manchester Metropolitan University and am doing a project which involves looking at the patterns of polish migrants who live in Manchester. To do this I am hoping to interview people about their migration to the UK, and this may include questions about why you came here, how your life has changed, if there have been any problems, what other places you went to, why you have chosen this particular city etc. This interviews will remain completely confidential and I will not need any names or anything like that.

Whilst I am looking to conduct face to face interviews if possible, I would be extremely happy to do interviews via email or private messages on here.

If anyone is interested or may know anyone who is I would be extremely grateful.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I had thought about going into Polish shops but to be honest I'm not totally sure where to find a lot of them, any recommendations other than what you already posted?

Also I knew there was older communities but I was looking to research the newer communities for this project

Thanks

Ha don't worry I have returned. Thanks for that link though looks really useful. If theres anyone here from Manchester or even the sort of North West area in general who would be willing to answer a few questions over email - nothing too personal just looking at "everyday spaces" I would really appreciate the help. I don't need any personal details and you can stop whenever you want, it would be great.
