Ramsgate Salvation Army – Supporting Ukrainians in Thanet and Beyond
Since war broke out in Ukraine, families have arrived in Thanet seeking safety – and we've welcomed them with open arms.
Since 2022, Ramsgate Salvation Army has stood alongside the Ukrainian community. What began as emergency help has grown into a vibrant network of support, connection, and hope.
We now run a wide range of activities to help Ukrainians rebuild their lives and adapt to a new life in the UK:
- Support for children, young people, and parents
- English Conversation Club and employment advice
- Help with furniture, moving, and settling into local life
- A welcoming advice hub, with close links to Citizens Advice
- Cultural events and trips to reduce isolation and strengthen community
- Volunteer opportunities that build confidence and purpose
- A Ukrainian school where children learn to read, write, and speak their native language – plus a fun drama club to build confidence and express themselves
And more!
