WHO WE ARE
The East Sussex Ukraine Support group is made up of five individuals hoping to better the lives of Ukrainians living both in Ukraine and here in East Sussex.
Please feel free to get in touch to see how we can help!
Alison, Alex and Tomasz Matwijiszyn
Alex is a second generation Ukrainian, his father and grandfather came to the UK after the war. Alex has a large extended family in Ukraine and when Russia invaded Ukraine on 24th February 2022, we offered refuge to his family. Some have come here, and over the months we met other local Ukrainians who we now regard as friends. We help other Ukrainians to come to the UK, find them hosts and then help them move on to their own homes. Tomasz is fluent in Ukrainian and Russian and helps with translations.
Shiennah and Ian
Our reason for getting involved with East Sussex Ukraine Support was that Ian‘s mother was born in Hungary and her family members came to live in the UK as a result of the invasion of 1956. He wanted to become a host as soon as the Homes for Ukraine scheme was announced. After we had made a few unsuccessful offers we found our guest via Alison and Alex. I truly believe we can all live together, expressing our uniqueness through our own cultures, whilst this wonderful planet hosts us. I look forward to a peaceful life and hope we can consign, ego, rhetoric, and aggression to the history books.
