More than forty volunteers from various organisations and groups across Aberdeen gathered in the city’s Town House at a Civic Reception to meet up with the Lord and Lady Provost. The Lord Provost spoke about the welcome and kindness that the citizens of Aberdeen have shown to the many refugees settling here from Ukraine, and of his appreciation of and gratitude to all those volunteers who helped to equip and set up homes for the refugee families. Seven club members who had assisted in sorting out and organising many of the donations of homeware, attended the reception, chatted to the Lord and Lady Provost and went on to enjoy tea and cake.
