Open House Meetings for Ukrainians in the Borough Continue
Advice and company offered at the Hammersmith Meeting House
The sun shone for the June meeting allowing use of the garden
June 30, 2023
The regular series of drop in events for Ukrainian refugees in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham is continuing with the next event due to take place on Friday 7 July.
Families and their supporters can come along between 3.30pm and 6.30pm to Hammersmith Meeting House, 30-32 Bradmore Park Road (W6 0DT) for expert advice, good company and some home baking. It the weather is good the event will take place in the garden which will enable children to play outside.
Around 70 people from Ukraine came to the previous meeting in June with a mixture of first timers and regulars. It was the eighth to be held so far and its popularity has prompted the decision to extend the programme through to the end of the year.
Representatives of the Co-Op were on hand to explain how to navigate their job application process and people from the East European Resource Centre (EERC) were on hand to help a teenager just finishing her A Levels with her application to attend the London School of Economics. Council officers were also on hand to provide advice on a range of issues.
The number of Ukrainians coming to the country continues to increase although more slowly than before so new people are joining the meetings every month.
Further events planned are as follows:
Friday 7 July
Friday 4 August
Friday 8 September
Friday 6 October
Friday 3 November
Friday 15 December
