Leeds couple give Ukrainian family brand new house - right next to theirs

A kind Leeds family have given a brand new house to a Ukrainian family fleeing the Russia-Ukraine war - close to their own home.

Kate Moran, who lives in Rawdon, Leeds, was scrolling on Facebook in April when she came across a post about a Ukrainian family in need of a home. The mum-of-two sprung to action and has been able to give the family a new home, find school places for their children and help them feel settled.

Kate who has a six-year-old son named Franklin, and three-year-old daughter Corinne, with husband Ross, said the Moran family felt they "couldn't just sit back and do nothing" with the spare room they have. "We have quite a big property in Leeds you see, and a cottage really close to our house with a double bed and its very own kitchen", she explained.
