Association of Belarusians in Great Britain
The Association of Belarusians in Great Britain (Belarusian: Згуртаваньне беларусаў у Вялікай Брытаніі) is an organisation in the United Kingdom uniting members of the Belarusian diaspora.
After the end of World War II, several thousands ethnic Belarusians landed in Britain. Most of these people were former soldiers of the Polish Anders Army.
In 1946 the Association of Belarusians in Great Britain was established. The organisation had branches in London, Manchester and Bradford, it owned several buildings including the Belarusian House in London.[1]
Under the support of the association, the Anglo-Belarusian Society was established in 1954 with the aim to promote Belarusian-British contacts.[2]
Alena Michaluk is the head of the association.
