CATON AND FRIENDS FOR UKRAINE – MONTHLY UPDATE FOR MAY
We’re pleased to announce that we’ve already welcomed first Ukrainian families into the village! Thanks to your continued support, the group has already raised over £4,500. We’re currently working with sellers to purchase much needed essential items and medical supplies. On the 30th of April we’re also launching a community space in the Lune Valley Methodist Hub in Brookhouse. The venue will be open to all who wish to support Ukrainian guests and their hosts, regardless of religion, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, age or social background. For details, please contact Miriam Lee on 07939519903. On the 13th of May we’re also doing a cake sale in Lancaster – please come along to enjoy delicious, home-made cakes and support a worthwhile cause. Details of the event can be found on our Facebook page.
If you’d like to get involved in the work of the group, there are plenty of opportunities. Please post any messages in the Facebook group or contact Anna (07305773004), Maciek (07418089089) or Miriam (07939519903) directly.

THANK YOU!
A massive “Thank you” to all who responded, at very short notice, to the appeal in April’s LINK for food, nappies, blankets, toiletries, warm clothes etc. for the people of Ukraine. On Tuesday 5th April, a Luton van was taken to Swindon to Barnabas Fund, a Christian charity, who repacked and dispatched all of the donations to Romania the next day, to be distributed through local churches there to people fleeing Ukraine, to help and serve them as best as they can. It was a fantastic effort, many thanks again.
