On Monday, in place of our usual ESOL lessons, we visited Birmingham Council House in Victoria Square.

The visit was arranged by Noran through June and Simon of the Public Relations Dept of Birmingham Council. Thankyou to all three and to Julie, our guide on the day. Our guests found the tour fascinating and were particularly interested in the details of the Mayor’s job.

It gave our guests an insight into our City and how it’s managed while admiring the architecture.

On 16th November, over 60 guests and their loved ones gathered for a cosy and engaging event. Attendees spent a delightful afternoon painting pottery and enjoying warm hot dogs.

Special thanks go to Beverley for organising the activities and for her incredible effort in packing all the food and pottery supplies into her small car to bring them to the event.

Thank you to everyone who joined and made the day so memorable!

On 21 October NB4U held a successful social event at Sutton Coldfield Baptist Church. We were joined by Anton and Roman who shared the work they were doing taking a range of items and vehicles to soldiers fighting in Ukraine. We collected £209 to donate to the cause and on 16 November we will be collecting in items to send to Ukraine. Thank you to Lucy, Colin and Peter who worked hard in the kitchen, Val and Mel who provided a craft activity for children , Roger and Malcolm who welcomed participants , Alex and Olena who helped throughout the event and Iryna who was instrumental in getting Anton and Roman involved.

On July 17th we celebrated Ukrainian Independence Day with 100 participants at Sutton Coldfield Baptist Church Hall . It was a truly amazing experience and we were joined by Councillor Clifton Welch , Councillor David Barry and Frances Thomas from Birmingham City Council. We had fabulous food from Ukrainian Sunflower which quickly disappeared . We had entertaiment from Iryna’s children’s dance group , the elders from ESOL entertained us with singing and poetry , we really have some very talented individuals in our group. We are also overwhelmed by the kindness of other people who supported our group today. The People’s Corner Project from #homefromhospital came along and provided food parcels and toiletry packs for participants plus back to school resources for children. We are very grateful to Gemma and her team for their support. Another big bonus was that the World Development Group from #stnicholaschurch donated cutlery, glasses, tablecloths, jugs and serving dishes that made today and will make future events much easier. Many thanks to everyone who volunteered to make this event possible we had lots of fun and marked a very important day for our Ukrainian community #HomesforUkraine #BirminghamCityCouncil
