Anna Pazdurova
Chairman/Founder


Through my passion for active volunteering, unexpectedly, life ways led me to volunteer to set up community school. Despite of my original plan to volunteer at “homeless charities with kids friendly volunttering" was changed by course of circumstances, I accepted life call to be here. I’m grateful that I could be a part of this amazing project of setting up school and community environment for first significant generation of Slovak origin children in Manchester and surrounded areas. I believe we, as parents living abroad, have responsibility to provide our children with heritage of language, information and traditions of the country we came from, and prepare them to live their best, in harmony with other cultures, wherever they choose to in the future.
As founder and chairman, I support school provides best in class language education, fosters family atmosphere, charitable spirit and openness to other nationalities. School promotes social inclusion within cosmopolitan community in Manchester, including surrounding areas and I will do my best to create atmosphere were morning lesson is enjoyment for our kids and adults. I also actively support child safety compliance, teacher’s professional development, recruitment, active fundraising, marketing, events, wellbeing and sport options,folk group Slovacik and cooperation with other communities.
In my spare time, apart from family, work and school, I'm active in outdoor and indoor sports, have passion for exploring new countries, natural beauties, cosmopolitan socializing, healthy lifestyle, psychology, self-development and I like being creative.

Trustee

Hi, I’m Mirka Matusikova. I have a Master’s degree in Business Enterprise and work as an accountant, but my life is so much more than numbers and spreadsheets. I’m a proud mum of three, and I love keeping busy—whether that’s cooking, baking, or heading out on little adventures with my children.
Helping people and connecting with others is something that brings me real joy. I enjoy meeting new people, sharing experiences, and learning from every interaction.
When I need to unwind, I turn to handmade crafts and creative projects—they’re my way of relaxing while making something meaningful.

I was born in Slovakia. After graduating from Faculty of Economics UMB in Banska Bystrica I worked for Ministry of Health of the Slovak Republic and later for Social Insurance Agency. Here in the UK I completed my ACCA exams. In Slovak school I am a charity accountant. I love spending time with my family (my husband and our 2 beautiful girls) but also with our extended family, skiing in Slovakia and working as a volunteer with young children in my local church here in Manchester.
