They're in need of important donations
Ukrainian refugees living in Nottingham have spoken out about how they want to do something “useful” in the city to say thank you to those that have helped them since fleeing the war. Now they are fundraising for their hometown whilst navigating their way through a different country.
Yevheniia, who moved to Kiev a year ago, spoke about the importance of the event and how she’s using it as an opportunity to stop thinking about the life threatening reality her family are in. She said: “We are here because we decided we had to escape from war, I want to do something really useful here.
Yeveniia spoke about how Russia has colonised many things in Ukraine - even the food. Borscht is a type of soup that originates from Ukraine. Russia claimed the soup originated from them, Yeveniia said. Ann Vickers, who has been taking in donations to send to Ukraine since March also created a Facebook group, City Hub Ukraine, to further update people on what donations are needed and share information about the war. Ann and volunteers collect and sort through donations Monday-Saturday on a rotational rota basis.
“When the girls first come you see the pain and trauma and now they’re here, they’re totally different.” Ann explained it was the refugees' idea to contact the top chef to arrive in Nottingham soon. She vowed to do everything she could to help.
