Hellenic Community of Edinburgh

Hellenic Community of Edinburgh (SC048115) - https://edinburgh-hellenic.org.uk

The Hellenic Community of Edinburgh was originally formed as a community group in 2014, before becoming an incorporated charitable organisation in 2018. It was set up by a group of Greeks and Cypriots, Edinburgh permanent residents, so as to fill in an obvious gap: Edinburgh was, at the time, perhaps the only main UK city – and Scottish capital – without a Hellenic Community. As such, the Hellenic minority in Edinburgh was missing any formal representation of its interests to the local and national authorities or otherwise.
