Welcome to the Finnish School in Manchester

by Olli Aro last modified 12/04/2006 12:26

Welcome to the Finnish School in Manchester! Come along and meet fellow Finns and Finnish-British families. Family and friends also welcome!

The Finnish School in Manchester was founded in 1977 and is supported by the Finnish Ministry of Education. It is a registered charity (charity no: 1058741) and is a politically and religiously non-aligned voluntary organisation.

The Finnish School in Manchester is a member of the Finland Society (Suomi-Seura) and participates in the Finnish Expatriate Parliament. We are also actively involved in the Friendship Circle, which helps Finns in difficulties.
