Magistrates Court results for the Eastbourne area
Gatwick Airport: All the cancelled and delayed easyJet, British Airways and Wizz Air flights for Wednesday, July 6
Cafe Ukraine is a social hub for Ukrainians and their host families to meet on Saturday mornings in Our Lady of Ransom Church in Meads Road.
As well as somewhere to socialise, the cafe is starting a free language course this Saturday (July 9).
The classes will take place at Eastbourne College every Saturday afternoon, 2.30pm-4pm, from July 9 to August 27.
The classes are for adult beginners and will cover basic vocabulary and grammar so the Ukrainians can use public transport, go shopping, visit the doctor, apply for jobs and hold a simple conversation.
Helen Kotz, from Cafe Ukraine, said any Ukrainian refugees that are interested should email [email protected] quickly as the course is nearly full.
She said, “It is very clear that in order to establish themselves in the UK Ukrainians need at least a basic level of English. Our five qualified teachers are giving their time for free. Through some generous donations we have been able to provide textbooks, paper and pens and through the generosity of Eastbourne College have the use of state of the art classrooms.
“The women that I have met clearly want to work, learn English, support their children in the English education system and build relationships with the people they meet in the UK. They have little idea of when they might be able to return home to be with their families and partners so need to build lives for themselves here where they are safe while the war continues.”
