Scarborough to Get Ukrainian Community Cafe

The café will be for both the Ukrainian community and local people.

The Scarborough Group that has been helping Ukrainian families escaping the ongoing war in their homeland, to find host families on the Yorkshire Coast says it's planning to open a café.

Iain Butterworth from the sunflower group says the café will be for both the Ukrainian community and local people.

The Sunflower Appeal Group have been helping people fleeing the war zone to connect with hosts in the Scarborough Borough and supporting them once they arrive.

Iain Butterworth says families are continuing to leave Ukraine and the group still needs more local help.

Iain says the group managed to take in a significant number of Ukrainian families earlier in the year and has been working since to help integrate them with the local community and provide help with finding schools, learning English and finding work.
