On the 21st of October we held our Autumn Celebration at Sutton Coldfield United Reform Church. Over 60 people came together to enjoy each other’s company, share a lovely buffet, and have fun.
A big thank you goes out to the staff from Refugee and Migrant Centre, and Spring Housing who gave up their Saturday afternoon to offer advice and support to guests and sponsors. We would also like to thank Sutton Coldfield URC who gave their facilities free of charge.

Today members from North Birmingham 4 Ukraine got together for a pizza party. It was a great success with 70 attendees including guests, sponsors and people who have moved on to living independently.
We had a wonderful time sharing news and enjoying each others company.
We thanked Roger and Anastasiya for all their hard work and welcomed our new consultants, Jacob who will offer ESOL support, Olesia who will lead on well being and offer employment support…
The organisers of the Sutton Coldfield Community Games kindly gave us entry and set up gazebos with picnic tables for us.
Despite the odd shower, the children enjoyed a range of sport activities and even had a go at being a fire crew member.

We celebrated Ukraine’s Constitution Day (June 28th) with Ukrainian food and music, an ice cream van, arts and crafts, games for children, and ended the day with a visit to a traditional English pub.
A celebration of the national clothing of Ukraine, which is embroidery made from homemade canvas woven on a loom. After face painting, the children made salt dough ornaments and played games while parents enjoyed a drink and chat.
