Thank you concert by Ukrainian Voices in All Saints Church, Lindfield
By Liudmyla Horielaia
When more than 100 refugees from Ukraine came to Mid Sussex two years ago to escape the war, All Saints Church in Lindfield became one of the most important centres of help and communication.
Every week the church has held English lessons, kindly organised by the local community. The atmosphere in the church was so supportive and friendly that it quickly became a favourite meeting place for Ukrainians.
Here, you could get answers to questions related to your stay in England, make new acquaintances, and just have a nice time over a cup of tea and cakes. Today, when many families from Ukraine have already settled down, found work and housing, they still come to the church as a favourite place.
The idea of organising an evening of Ukrainian music at All Saints Church was born as a token of gratitude to the local community for the enormous support provided to refugees from Ukraine during their difficult time. The concert is also important to show people that Ukraine is more than war and politics and to share the rich musical heritage of their country.
