A retired Dalry man who is hosting a Ukrainian family has this week praised people in the Glenkens for their overwhelming support of refugees fleeing the conflict with Russia.
Paul Goodwin has hosted a mother and her two sons, aged 10 and six, since July and has dedicated his spare time to helping five other Ukrainian families living nearby to settle into the community.
Trips to the dentist, lifts to the supermarket, contact with local schools, pleas for bikes, and helping the refugees find work so that they can pay their own way has kept 69-year-old Paul extremely busy for the past three months.
