Hellenic Community of Edinburgh

The Hellenic Community of Edinburgh (HCE) was founded in 2014 by a group of Greeks and Cypriots, permanent residents of Edinburgh, who shared a common vision: Το represent and support solidarity amongst the Hellenic population of Edinburgh as an ethnic group, with the view to further promote their welfare and common interests. In a short length of time, HCE has managed to establish itself as the main point of contact between Greek people of Edinburgh with the rest of the world.

The progress and successful operation of HCE was formally acknowledged in 2018, when the organisation was awarded its Scottish Charity status by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR).
