We’ve started to spot some regular sessions starting in Chippenham where Ukrainians who already live or have recently moved to the area can meet, get support and share local information.
Please let us know if you spot any others to add to the list on hello@onechippenham.org.uk.
The Chippenham Community Hub is running the Ukraine Friendship Group from 10am to 12pm on Wednesdays at 23, Borough Parade, Chippenham, SN15 3WL for Ukrainians in the area.
On Fridays the Chippenham Community Hub is also hosting English lessons. Please see the dates & information in the below image.
Finally the hub has also offered for anyone urgently requiring help to contact them. Call 01249 736425, email or pop in.
