Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 22nd February, St Olga’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Peterborough UK, has acted as a hub for donations.

With its many volunteers it is managing to send 2 lorries a week to Ukraine to give medical and other desperately needed supplies to the Ukrainian people.

I was privileged to meet with Alla and Emma at St Olga’s and in this episode we hear about the extraordinary and wonderful work that is going on at the Church and how it has brought the community together.

The Ukrainian people are desperate for supplies and for any local listeners  we give details on the sorts of items needed and if you live further away how you can sponsor the project, or you may wish to donate or volunteer to a local initiative in your area.
