Swiss Review UK Pages
ISSUE 2 APRIL 2025
Dear Readers,
After four years, we are once again called to vote for our representatives to the Council of the Swiss Abroad for the 2025–2029 term.
This year, we have a list of 16 candidates— a generous response from Swiss citizens living in the UK. It is encouraging to see so many individuals stepping forward to represent our interests and ensure our voices are heard in Bern.
This issue is dedicated to helping you make an informed choice. You will find all the information you need to cast your vote, as well as the profiles of the candidates who have put themselves forward to serve our community.
In addition, we are delighted to feature an interview with Paralympic gold medallist Leo McCrea, who will be a special guest at the Congress of the Swiss Abroad in London this June. His journey is a powerful reminder of resilience and determination, inspiring us all to see challenges as opportunities for growth.
We hope you enjoy this issue and, most importantly, take part in the election.
Gioa

All entitled Swiss citizens abroad can receive their own copy of “Swiss Review”, either printed or online. The magazine for the Swiss Abroad appears five times a year and provides information about what is happening at home and the activities of Swiss associations abroad. There are three regional editions per year. The Organisation of the Swiss Abroad (OSA) publishes the Swiss Review on behalf of the federal administration, and supported by a dedicated FDFA Delegate.
To ensure you receive the next edition in the format you require, we recommend you take the following steps:
If you have not received “Swiss Review”: check with your Swiss representation (embassy/consulate) that your address has been registered correctly (postal or e-mail address). Contact details of the Swiss representations abroad.
It is also possible to check this with the Helpline FDFA who is available around the clock 365 days a year.
You can catch up on any editions missed in the Archive section in the Editions menu on the SwissCommunity.org Swiss Review pages.
If you wish to change the form of delivery of “Swiss Review” for yourself (from online to paper, or vice versa), you can do so via the FDFA's website. Please note that the change can only be made by persons registered as the head of the household, i.e. those to whom “Swiss Review” is currently addressed.
Please contact your Swiss representation directly about all future matters concerning “Swiss Review”. The editorial team at “Swiss Review” does not have access to your address or administrative details.
To ensure that delivery runs smoothly, please inform your embassy or consulate immediately of any change of address (postal or e-mail).
