From Bournemouth to Ukraine group recently held an appreciation evening for around 100 of its supporters at its warehouse at Castlepoint Bournemouth.

Invitees were treated to a bar and buffet of traditional Ukrainian food.

In attendance was the mayor of Bournemouth Cllr David Kelsey and Ferndown Town councillor Cllr Paul Hanson Graham.

Supporters were there to receive their certificates of appreciation from Karol Swiacki the campaign leader.

Cllr Hanson Graham received one of the evening’s awards on behalf of Ferndown Town Council for the work it has done in collecting aid to help the war torn people of Ukraine. Cllr Hanson Graham created the Ukrainian Aid appeal in Ferndown and, with the support of fellow town councillors, helped to set up the collection point in the Barrington centre.
