Commemorating Ukraine Independence Day
Tags:
The Council organised a special Ukrainian Welcome Café at the Point on Wednesday 24 August to help local Ukrainians commemorate Ukraine Independence Day.
Around 80 people attended the event that, was funded by the home Office, and included a range of activities for the children together with cupcakes that were decorated in the colours of the Ukrainian flag. A number of our Ukrainian guests brought along food to share at the event and traditional Ukrainian songs were sung that were very emotional for many of the Ukrainians as they reflected on events in their homeland.
