AGAPE

AGAPE is a Catholic association based in Lublin, Poland, dedicated to supporting people affected by addiction, family members experiencing codependency, survivors of violence and crime, and others facing difficult life circumstances. Its assistance is provided free of charge and is designed to offer practical, ongoing support to individuals and families in need.

The association provides legal, psychological, psychiatric and social counselling, including help for people harmed by crime. Its services also include support groups, the AGAPE Club community space for families, and a children’s and young people’s day centre offering educational and care activities. Through its consultation and diagnostic point in Lublin, AGAPE offers free, anonymous testing for HIV, HCV and syphilis, along with related education. The organisation also provides material assistance to seniors and people in hardship, and works with volunteers to extend its community support.

AGAPE relies on donations and volunteer involvement to maintain and develop its services. Located at Okopowa 5 in Lublin, the association aims to make accessible support available to people navigating crisis and vulnerability.
