We're working closely with local organisations to support Ukrainian refugees in Bray and North Wicklow – for example liaising with local schools to find school places for children, providing conversational English classes and bringing services together to develop a coordinated response. We provide supports, courses and activities through our new Ukrainian Community Centre for Bray and North Wicklow Український центр
A range of supports are being provided in the community through local volunteers who have linked in with Ukranian families and individuals, voluntary organisations, statutory agencies and hotels hosting refugees. We are one of the agencies providing assistance where requested and we appreciate the support received to date from the wider community.
