Barnardo's Ukrainian Virtual Youth Space

This is for young people from Ukraine aged 10 to 17 who are living in the UK. Our Youth Space is a safe place to have fun and informally practice English language speaking and listening skills, whilst also meeting new friends. Each session we will play games, chat, and complete fun activities. We will have Ukrainian speakers available in the sessions to help the young people express themselves if needed, alongside other staff from the Ukrainian Support Helpline. The sessions are held online so a microphone and camera will be required.
