A big-hearted West Lothian couple have helped a Ukrainian family of six to seek asylum in the county and are asking for the community’s help in supporting them once they get here.
John and Irina Young from Livingston have applied for visas for their friends fleeing Ukraine – a couple with four young children, including a seven-month-old baby.
Irina went to university with the mother of the young Ukrainian family and they kept in touch as tensions with Russia continued to heighten.
