They are also gathering basic supplies like first aid boxes and toiletries for Ukraine's army. Irina Pitka left Ukraine 23 years ago. She said, ‘What is going through my head is fear and anger over this evil occupation. We trust the Ukrainian army and the west which is now showing tremendous support.’ Oleksii Burov worships at St Olga and studies at the University of East Anglia.

He said, ‘We've been living in a state of war for eight years.’ Since 2014 London’s Newman Catholic College has been helping refugee children to succeed by running summer camps, weekend classes and liaising with subject teachers and pastoral staff for many students scarred by a traumatic journey.
