In August we got to spend time with some of our fantastic volunteers supporting our friends in CKLP in hosting a special event for 800 plus Ukrainians in accommodation in Maynooth University to celebrate their National Day.

Just some of the wonderful activities on offer were kite making, face-painting, music, art and dance workshops, sports games, crafting workshops, open mic sessions. There was also a circus performance, an ice cream van and a on-site burger van.

Our wonderful volunteers were on site to help facilitate all these activities and greet all the Ukrainian residents with a warm smile on what was a very emotional day for them. It was fantastic to see volunteers demonstrating the local community support for everybody from Ukraine.
