🇺🇦On Saturday 21st September 2024, Yvonne Stocks DL Deputy Lieutenant of West Yorkshire, took time from her busy schedule to visit AUGB - Leeds Ukrainian Community Centre, and hear of the work of the Leeds Ukrainian Community Association (LUCA).
Yvonne was told of our work providing Humanitarian Aid to Ukraine, as well as the work undertaken here in Leeds.
Following this we introduced Yvonne to students of LUCA supported English-Speaking club, this takes place every Saturday.
We then moved on to visit the lessons taking place at Ukrainian school Українська Суботня Школа. Leeds, UK, where Yvonne was delighted to spend time with pupils and teachers.
Teachers explained the school curriculum to Yvonne, and why it is important that Ukrainian history is taught, together with range of other key subjects.
We are grateful to Yvonne for taking the time to visit and for her continued support, help and interest about the situation in Ukraine.
The time spent with Ukrainian families and children displaced by this terrible war, is gratefully acknowledged by the charity and the people Yvonne spent time with.
We are extremely grateful for the generous donation to LUCA from the Yvonne Stocks Foundation and can assure you that these funds will help us to continue delivering Humanitarian Aid to Ukraine.
We continue to stand with Ukraine 🤝
