The Polish Cultural Institute in London, the Polish Social and Cultural Association (POSK), also known as the Polish Centre, and Ognisko Polskie (Polish Hearth) are proud to join forces to collaborate on an exciting new project which celebrates the contribution of the Polish diaspora, one of the largest community groups in the country, to British culture and society.<\/p>

It is the first time that these three Polish organisations in the UK have collaborated in this way.<\/p>

The new project celebrates Polish contributions to British life and is named after Churchill\u2019s favourite female secret<\/strong> agent.<\/strong><\/p>

Krystyna Skarbek, better known as Christine Granville was one of the most remarkable secret agents of the Second World War, undertaking many<\/strong><\/p>

successful missions and using her language skills, powers of persuasion, and sheer courage to save<\/strong><\/p>

countless lives. She was Britain\u2019s first female secret agent, and its longest serving operative.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
