On September 20th we had our monthly get-together at #SCBC. NB4U are very lucky to have this wonderful meeting space every month and we are truly grateful.

This time, over 50 Ukrainians, volunteers and sponsors came together to enjoy each other’s company and share some delicious pizza. Many thanks go to everyone who helped at the event – we really appreciate all our volunteers.

We were delighted to be joined by Peppy and Nicky from #BeaconFamilyServices, who ran a fun and engaging session for our young people. The pizza received lots of compliments, and we were able to congratulate all our young people who achieved excellent GCSE results, as well as wish those moving from primary to secondary school every success.

Don’t forget, we meet on the third Saturday of every month and everyone is welcome. In addition, we run ESOL classes every Monday, dance sessions on Mondays, conversation classes on Fridays, and tennis on Sundays.

We also provide support with finding accommodation for people who wish to live independently.

A wonderful trip recently took place to the city of Worcester, just 40 minutes away by train from Birmingham. Participants had the opportunity to visit some of the city’s highlights: the Guildhall, the Tudor House Museum, and the magnificent Worcester Cathedral.

The atmosphere, history, and architecture of Worcester left a lasting impression. Guests from Ukraine especially noted the warm welcome and said they would certainly return one day.

The trip was a great chance to discover English culture and enjoy time together in a friendly atmosphere.

On Sunday, we enjoyed an exciting trip to Sutton New Hall Mill, located not far from Sutton town centre. This historic watermill offers visitors a chance to see how grain was milled in the past and to experience the atmosphere of bygone centuries. A walk through the picturesque surroundings, along with the opportunity to step inside and learn about the mill’s history, left everyone with vivid and lasting impressions.

The trip was organised by North Birmingham for Ukraine especially for Ukrainians, with the aim of introducing them to the cultural heritage and beautiful landmarks of the region. The day was filled with warmth, friendly conversation, and shared discoveries — memories that will be cherished for a long time.
