European is a sub-category of: Ethnic and nationality minorities
European has the following sub-categories:
|
Irish |
Established Eastern, Central and Southern European Community |
|
New Eastern and Central European Community |
European is also related to:
Travellers and Gypsy,
Eastern European, Italian and Irish communities
Scattered across the district there are well established communities of people from Eastern European nations, including the Ukraine , Poland , Latvia , Serbia , Estonia and Hungary. In Keighley there is an Italian population. These communities date from the period after World War 2, when refugees and displaced people, fleeing violence and political upheaval, came to take up work in Bradford’s mills. There are now second and third generation members of these communities living in the district.
Another ethnic community, with a longer historical link with Bradford, reaching back into the 19 th Century, are made up of migrants from Ireland , also originally attracted by the employment offered within Bradford’s mills.
These communities are not to be found in any particular geographic area, and people are scattered across the District. They express their identity by their membership of social groups and churches – the Ukrainian Orthodox Church or the Polish Social Club for example.
The people who arrived in Bradford after World War 2 are now elderly. As they grow older some have more difficulty communicating in English and there is a danger that they become isolated in the wider neighbourhood. They, of course, may also have the other problems that come with old age.

Direct communication can be difficult, but there are a number of people across the Bradford District who can help. The best initial contact is Rada Mijailovic, the Neighbourhood Service, Bradford Council. She can advise on who you should talk to about particular communities. You can reach her on 01274 431156 or e-mail her on rada.mijailovic@bradford.gov.uk |
