Greece
KEPKA

Greece - KEPKA is a non-governmental, non-profit, independent consumers' organization. The establishment of KEPKA, in 1982, was exclusively a private initiative, due to a strong concern on the lack of a concrete consumers' protection policy, in Greece and the difference between the level of protection in Greece and that of the other Member States of the EU. This concern was shared among all the founding members. All these 35 years, we have been trying to raise consumers’ conscience, in Greece and protect consumers’ rights. Our main activities are raising consumers' conscience in Greece and protecting consumers' rights, informing consumers on products, services, economic interests, health, nutrition,environmental problems, human rights, ethics and urging the Greek Government, the European Commission and the European Parliament to develop a consumer policy towards the improvement of the quality of the consumers' and citizens' lives. KEPKA has neither commercial activities nor any income coming from political parties, organizations or enterprises. The members' contribution (annual subscription), governmental and EU grants are the only financial sources of the organization. For more info please visit: https://kepka.org

Ireland
The Rural Hub

Ireland - The Rural Hub was first established as an association in 2012. It was set up by a group of education, training and rural development professionals as a response to the impact of the economic crisis on small rural villages and towns in Ireland. As a direct consequence of the recession that followed the crisis many rural areas experienced higher unemployment than their urban counterparts and many residents became more and more isolated due to the difficult financial conditions that pertained. The Rural Hub has been providing a wide range of community development courses for local residents to support greater community involvement and enhanced social inclusion, targeting growing isolation to achieve the integration of migrant communities with the host communities and their counterparts in other migrant communities. It targets a major part of its actions at people who have moved into the local area in the last 10 years which includes a significant Polish, Lithuanian, Romanian and South American and South African population.
