UKRAINIAN refugees and their host families in Salisbury were joined by the city’s MP for a special Christmas event.
Conservative John Glen, who is the First Secretary to the Treasury as well as being the Salisbury MP, paid a visit to the Ukraine Hub, based at the Methodist Church.
They were celebrating the festive season with carols.
“It was a joy to join Salisbury’s Ukraine Hub today for carols and fellowship,” he said. “I am very proud of Salisbury’s hosts and the wonderful way they and their guests support and care for each other through our dynamic hub.”
The Salisbury Hub was set up in April 2022 to provide a support network for Ukrainian refugees and their hosts.
“We have done this under the auspices of the Salisbury Methodist Church which has generously provided space and additional support,” a spokesperson said.
“We are here for people of any faith (or none) and for anyone from the city or surrounding areas who wishes to network with other families who are hosting, seeks assistance around the process of hosting a Ukrainian family and their Ukrainian guests, or who has their own offer of help, advice or skills.”
