We are currently interviewing our Ukrainian guests and their hosts and will post more of their stories here shortly.
On May 17 2025, the Public Participation Team at Birmingham City Council visited Sutton Baptist Church, where a Ukrainian community event was taking place. On the day, the team met Iryna Syvolap.
This is the story of Viktoriia and her 80-year-old mother, and their journey to escape the war in Ukraine and find safety in Birmingham. Viktoriia’s mother has mental health challenges and high blood pressure, so it was vital to secure a safe and supportive environment as quickly as possible.
