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
