We’re grateful @josephpowell MP for the recognition in Parliament.

We take a strategic, future-facing approach—investing in both 🇺🇦 & 🇬🇧 children.

Our Bilingual School project aims to shape a new generation of leaders for Ukraine, the UK & Europe.

[Joe Powell MP @josephpowell]

St. Mary’s Ukrainian Trust has done exceptional work supporting thousands of displaced Ukrainian children by expanding their community schooling and pioneering trauma-sensitive approaches to education.

They are now working to open the UK’s first bilingual Ukrainian secondary school in Kensington & Bayswater — a brilliant idea to support children further.

I raised the idea in the House last week and was reassured by the supportive response from the Leader of the House, and I look forward to meeting Education Ministers in due course to discuss it further.

"Through the voices of young Ukrainians, we explore what it means to grow up far from home – and how one London school has become both a lifeline and a 2nd home for a generation caught between worlds' St Mary's Ukrainian School @Telegraph @FrancisDearnley https://t.co/q9UFyexw7n

[Lord Wajid Khan @LordWajidKhan]

It was great to visit St Mary's Ukrainian School to hear about plans to create a bi-lingual school. I also met with members of the Youth Council, empowering young people to prepare for leadership roles. These initiatives are a key pillar of the UK/Ukraine 100 year partnership.
