Four Years as One Family<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What began four years ago as a simple hand held out in support has flourished into a powerful pillar of strength. The Hub\u2019s anniversary was filled with the warmth of a true home. From the sharing of traditional culinary delights to the excitement of the raffle and bingo, the day brought together families, volunteers, and friends. It was a vivid reminder that we are not just a community\u2014we are a family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Bridge of Friendship with Local Leadership<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A highlight of the event was the visit of Cllr Paul Warburton<\/strong>. His presence was more than a formal gesture; it was a reflection of the deep respect and robust cooperation between the Ukrainian community and British local authorities. Cllr Warburton expressed high praise for the social initiatives led by “Ukrainian House UK,” emphasizing how such synergy enriches the entire Warrington region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commemoration of Chernobyl<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the event, the community also paid tribute to the victims of the Chernobyl disaster, as the 40th anniversary<\/strong> approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speakers emphasised that this tragedy remains a powerful symbol of human responsibility and is especially relevant today in the context of nuclear safety threats caused by Russia\u2019s aggression against Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Blood Solidarity”: Gratitude in Every Drop<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A cornerstone of the event was the presentation of the “Blood Solidarity”<\/strong> initiative. This flagship project by Ukrainian House UK<\/strong> encourages Ukrainians living in the UK to become blood donors for the NHS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“This is our gesture of gratitude to the people of Great Britain. We are not only recipients of support; we are ready to give back and save the lives of those who opened their doors to us,”<\/em> was the message shared with the attendees.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Voices of the Community and the Magic of Song<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The formal program was enriched by the insightful speeches of the directors of the International Center “Ukrainian House UK”\u2014Ruslan Panchyshyn<\/strong> and Anatoliy Shalaiev<\/strong>. Following them, Volodymyr Kovalchuk<\/strong> provided a vital briefing on the blood donation process, guiding attendees through the practical and safe steps of donating within the NHS system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emotional heart of the celebration was the musical performance by the Duet “Dol-ya.”<\/strong> Their soulful songs, brought to the event by Ukrainian House UK, created an atmosphere of profound beauty and cultural pride that moved everyone present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
