Merry Christmas and Thank You for Your Support

Dear Friends,

This Christmas, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you.

During this challenging time — amid the brutal war Russia continues to wage against Ukraine — your kindness, warmth, and support mean more to us than words can fully express. We truly feel your care and solidarity, and it gives strength to the Ukrainian community here to adapt, integrate, and become a meaningful part of life in Canterbury and beyond.

Thank you for standing with us, for being close to us, and for sharing your time, energy, and compassion. Your support helps us move forward and reminds us that we are not alone.

Please know that we are always here for you as well. If there is ever anything we can help with, we will be glad to do so — our doors and hearts are always open.

As we celebrate Christmas, we wish that the spirit of this special season fills your homes with love and warmth, and your hearts with peace, joy, and hope. May Christmas bring you light, comfort, and many gentle moments of happiness and pleasant surprises shared with those you love.

With sincere gratitude and warmest Christmas wishes,

The Canterbury for Ukraine Team
