About bham.pl

The bham.pl portal was launched on 14 April 2006 in response to the growing needs of the Polish community living in Birmingham and the wider West Midlands region. From the very beginning, its mission has been to provide reliable information, support community integration, and create a place where migrants can find help, inspiration and meaningful connections.

Today, bham.pl is one of the most popular Polish online platforms in the West Midlands, combining news, practical guidance and an active online community.

What does bham.pl offer?

News

We publish daily news relevant to Polish residents living in Birmingham, the West Midlands and across the United Kingdom. On bham.pl you will find local updates, UK-wide news, practical advice, information about benefits, legal changes, transport, events and everything that affects everyday life for Poles in the UK.

Our aim is to deliver fast, accurate and easy-to-understand news tailored specifically to the Polish community in Britain.

Discussion Forum

The forum is the heart of our community. It is a space where users share experiences, ask questions and discuss everyday matters — both related to life in the UK and completely casual topics.

Over the years, the forum has helped create hundreds of friendships, organise local meet-ups, community events, and support newcomers looking for guidance about life in England.

Jobs

The Jobs section is one of the most frequently visited areas of the portal. Here you will find job offers posted by local businesses and private individuals, as well as guidance on the UK labour market, workers’ rights, CV preparation and available benefits.

It is a valuable resource for anyone seeking employment in Birmingham and the surrounding area.

Registered users can create and edit their profiles, upload photos and videos, comment, send private messages and use the chat. The service is available in both Polish and English.

• motoring,
