For over four decades, FOCUS has been a trusted community for expats in the UK — a place to find guidance, friendship, and belonging while navigating life abroad.
Founded in 1982, FOCUS supported thousands of international professionals and families through relocation advice, cultural integration, events, and networking opportunities. Our mission was always simple: to help people feel at home, wherever they come from.
As of October 2025, FOCUS has officially closed. While the organisation’s activities have come to an end, the values and community spirit that defined FOCUS will live on through those we’ve supported.
If you are a current member or have any questions, please contact Gaël Panhelleux.
With gratitude to everyone who has been part of the FOCUS journey — our members, partners, and friends — thank you for making these 43 years truly meaningful.
