Association of Belarusians in Great Britain


The Association of Belarusians in Great Britain is an organisation in the United Kingdom uniting members of the Belarusian diaspora.
After the end of World War II, several thousand 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. It became the first organization of the Belarusian diaspora established by the wave of emigrants from Belarus after World War II.
With the support of the association, the Anglo-Belarusian Society was established in 1954 with the aim to promote Belarusian-British contacts.
Mikalaj Packajeu is the head of the association.
