Ukrainian Support Afternoons at Great Ayton

While the war in Ukraine sometimes slips down the News Agenda in the UK, for some it is an ever-present reality. For some months now a group has been meeting at Great Ayton Methodist Church including Ukrainian Refugees – mainly through the "Homes for Ukraine" scheme – and some of the hosts or potential hosts through the same scheme.

Having started as something of a step out in faith, the group has now grown in numbers and provides opportunities for people to share in their own language and share food – often cooked by the families themselves and including traditional Ukrainian dishes – and as well, time for hosts and potential hosts to share their experiences and offer mutual support.

The group continues to meet every Wednesday at 4pm; all those from Ukraine, their hosts, and people looking to become hosts are welcome.
