HELP & SUPPORT UKRAINE In a written submission to the meeting on 7 June, it was reported that two members of the group had enjoyed a Ukrainian meal with one of our guests. They also noted that it was culturally inappropriate for Ukrainians to talk about their health. Need remains great, and so opportunity to donate clothing, bedding, children’s toys and wheelchairs (among other things) has reopened. Next meeting: Wednesday 5 July 2023, 7.00pm. ALL WELCOME. But unless there are pressing items for an agenda this meeting will be cancelled.
