Euro Cafés around the UK

The Euro Café concept, born in Norwich in November 2019, is being taken up around the country as a way to offer practical help to EU citizens in the UK.

Many EU citizens in the UK already have Settled Status, and many others are applying or know that they need to apply. There are those, however, who don’t even know that they need to. It is becoming urgent that they find out and submit their application.

Around the UK, a network of Euro Cafés is coming to life, providing support and place of welcome to a wide range of nationalities. The national Euro Café website is linking to them as they develop.
