Nearly 100 local volunteers have sacrificed their free time to welcome Ukrainian refugees to Scotland as they take their first steps into a new and unknown life in the UK.
Community Task Force Volunteers with Volunteer Edinburgh have gone “above and beyond the call of duty” to act as the representatives of Scotland and provide warmth and comfort to those fleeing home.
Since March, volunteers have been placed at Edinburgh Airport’s arrival gates, greeting approximately 1,400 refugees from mid-May to mid-June alone.
