"I really enjoy what we are doing now and it will be perfect if this community will continueto work because it’s really helped me to adapt in England and find new friends."
"Here I can be part of a big Ukrainian family even when I am far away from home. This is
the best thing that could have happened
in dull, rainy London, and I am so glad to have this opportunity."
"Here I can be myself and speak my native language and it's really cool! I've made
a lot of friends here. We play, draw and even do various interesting projects together.
We have many common hobbies, and we always support each other."
"Our meetings help to distract us from the sad circumstances in Ukraine. When I miss
for home or worried about my family, communication in the community helps me feel supported and happy.
We have fun together, learn and dream about the future, which gives us hope and
strength to move forward."
"The 50+ Project Lewisham
- is not just a place where I spend my time. It is
a place where I feel happy and accepted.
It's like a big friendly family!"
