Advertised for Thursday the first Ukrainian Community Hub was a success according to Hub Co-ordinator Cara-anne McDowell, I spent around 1½ hours at the Whittlesey Queen Street Church finding out about the new arriving families here in Whittlesey.
They are being housed and looked after by ‘Volunteer Hosts’ (Nationwide) and the two families I met had arrived this week, one via Stansted and one driving via Poland.
The hosts will be helping the families settle in.
The Hub will begin English lessons and arrange for health checks.
The Hub will meet every two weeks begining 26th May (no meeting 02nd June).
If you are intrested in supporting or helping in anyway please contact.
