Ashbourne 4 Ukraine
We have partnered with other churches, charities, organisations and businesses in Ashbourne to create the ‘Ashbourne 4 Ukraine’ forum. We believe together we can support those in need better than we can individually
If you want to join the Ashbourne 4 Ukraine forum, please join our facebook group. If you’re not on facebook, send us a message and we will keep you update via email (office@ashbourneelim.church).
Host & Local Welcome Booklets
Please see below for host & welcome booklets. If you would prefer a physical copy of these, please pick them one from Ashbourne Elim Church. We are hoping to have some placed in other local businesses soon.
Helpful Phrases
Put together by a team from Ashbourne4Ukraine and Ashbourne Refugee Community Sponsorship group, please see below for some basic phrases translated into both Ukrainian and Russian – with helpful phonetic guidance
Are you hosting a Ukrainian family?
If you are expecting a family or individual from Ukraine to arrive with you and want some help and support with that – we would love to help you. Please do reach out and get in touch and we can help as much as we can. We have produced welcome packs for Ukrainian families and host packs for hosts with further information about support available on.
There is a whatsapp group for any local hosts to join. If you have put in a visa application or if your family has already arrived, please email us (office@ashbourneelim.church) if you’d like to join that group.
Matching with Refugee Families
We are aware of some Ukrainian families who have links with Ashbourne and the surrounding areas – we will post any families or individuals that we know about on our closed facebook group. If you are not on facebook but would like to be kept updated, please let us know via email.
There are some national charities who are working to match hosts in the UK with Ukrainian families or individuals. If you would like to look into that, please see the links below
