The opening speech by Mr Dariusz Laska, the Deputy Ambassador of the Republic of Poland was followed by speeches of Mrs Bernadetta Cassidy Barka UK Chair of Trustees and Mrs Ewa Sadowska Barka UK CEO, who talked about the pressure and challenges faced by Central and Eastern European rough sleepers in the capital and entire UK, as well as the financial constraints which Barka UK had been experiencing due to funding cuts to the charity sector in the UK.
The guests enjoyed an excellent performance by Maciek Pysz and Asaf Sirkis Duo, Katy Carr and Scotpipe from Edinburgh, followed by a networking session. The concert was organised with the support of 2SistersPR.
Barka UK would like to express our sincere gratitude to His Excellency Mr Witold Sobkow Polish Ambassador to the UK for hosting the event, the artists and 2SisterPR for your involvement and all honorable guests for your support.
