Around 100 people gathered outside St John’s Methodist Church in Llandudno last night (24th February) to stand together with our Ukrainian guests. We were hosted by Revd Nigel Rodgers, the Minister of St John’s and Carol Marubbi, the Mayor of Llandudno. There were a number of powerful speeches, a poem and prayers led by the Ukrainians in our community. There were vigorous chants of Glory to Ukraine -Slava Ukraini - and the Ukrainian National Anthem sung with deep emotion.
It was an immense privilege to stand with these brave people and we remain totally committed to welcoming them as members of our communities and long for them to feel at home and share our ‘hiraeth’ with their passion for their homeland.
