The Wells Welcome Hub organised a heartfelt gathering for displaced people at a beautiful farm outside the city. This event brought together families from the displaced community for an afternoon of creativity, reflection and genuine connection.

The day featured:

Women's Circle and Book Presentation

An opportunity to meet Myroslava Shvydchenko - psychologist, speaker, and author of the new book Rays of the Soul - A Guide to Recovery for Women. She shared thoughtful insights on letting go of the past, creating space for self-care and recovering inner strength after crisis. The atmosphere fostered open, meaningful conversations that touched the heart.

Children's Art Workshop

While the women gathered, the younger children enjoyed an art workshop led by Kateryna Lebid, a Ukrainian artist and volunteer. Teenagers had an opportunity to spend time together and play a boardgame led by another volunteer – Tetiana Bohdaniuk. 

For many there who often live in rented or temporary homes with uncertain futures, this gathering was much more than just an event. It was a rare moment of lightness, peace, and belonging - a comforting reminder of community and home during a time of displacement and change.

Moments like these become quiet treasures woven into the story of our community. So simple, so lovely, and so important.

The welcoming space at the farm allowed everyone to feel comfortable, connected, and inspired - a beautiful respite from the challenges many face daily. The Wells Welcome Hub's commitment to creating such moments is deeply appreciated by all.

Thank you to everyone who joined and made this day truly special. We look forward to more gatherings that nurture community and hope.
