Sussex Russian Centre KALINKA is a not-for-profit voluntary organisation, established in 2008 by a group of parents who just wanted to meet, socialise, make new friends and share common interests. Then the idea of a Russian school formed, to promote the language and Russian culture and to offer our children an opportunity to play and learn in a friendly warm environment.

Over the years Kalinka has grown and we always welcome children and adults to join us and to share and promote our aims, in particular:

- To encourage the integration of all Russian speaking people residing in Sussex and therefore to reduce their isolation by bringing them into closer association with the local community
- To advance education by preserving and promoting Russian language and culture of Russian-speaking countries to wider community.
- To promote and co-ordinate the work of statutory and voluntary organizations which further the integration of Russian speaking persons into society.

SRC Kalinka is a community organisation run by volunteers and a management committee as an educational establishment; it does not have a political agenda, nor it is affiliated to any political parties or views and therefore, as an organisation, we do not engage in any debates or make political comments. Our centre unites and supports people from different backgrounds and Russian-speaking countries. Our aim is to continue our activities peacefully and to make sure our members, including from Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Beloruss, Latvia and so on, feel safe and supported. SRC Kalinka has a clear Equal Opportunities policy and we stand against any aggression or discrimination.
