MORE than 300 Ukrainian families forced to flee their homeland following the Russian invasion have been supported in Scotland thanks to a charity initiative
Barnardo’s Scotland Welcome (Ukraine) Service, which was set up in the summer, works to ensure refugees from the war-torn country feel safe, welcome and included in their early life north of the border.
The charity has given more than 300 Barnardo’s Scotland £100 vouchers, alongside other items, to displaced families, including toys and dozens of mobile sim cards.
