A mother-of-two who fled the war in Ukraine has thanked the staff at a Welsh centre that looked after them in a special way. When Albina and her two children had to flee the war in Ukraine last year the family found sanctuary at the Urdd residential centre in Llangrannog along with a number of other refugees from the country.
In April of last year the Welsh Government launched its Homes for Ukraine scheme, which offered help and guidance to both refugees and hosts. In an upcoming episode of S4C’s heartwarming series Y ‘Sgubor Flodau [The Flower Barn] Albina wanted to honour those that had helped her when she moved from Ukraine to Llangrannog in Ceredigion. The show follows a talented team who create floral masterpieces for those who want to say thank you to someone.
In the third episode of the series Albina commissioned a unique floral display for the staff at Llangrannog. Having now resettled in Plwmp in Ceredigion and working at the Urdd centre's kitchen she explained how the staff had been “incredible” during the time she and her family had stayed at the centre last year.
