UK–Ukraine providence

A Christian family and church are at the heart of what a national newspaper calls possibly ‘the Ukraine-friendliest town in Britain’.

A reported 1,130 Ukrainian refugees have arrived in East Sussex since March and, within that, Wealden District – which includes places such as Crowborough, Hailsham, Uckfield and East Dean – is close to 600. This is ‘more than anywhere else in the country,’ according to The Guardian.

Among the hosts are Steve Rees (photo right), vicar of All Saints Crowborough, and a member of the Sussex Gospel Partnership, and his wife Jenny (photo third from right).
