I live in a small village just outside Durham, season ticket holders and we are trying to get to away games but cost, distance and priority points are putting a little stop to that at times!
When Russia invaded Ukraine and there was a call for refugee hosts, my village stepped up to the plate in a huge way. We total about 90 houses which may sound a lot but really isn’t. We hosted around 15 families and became a hub for other villages and a lot of Durham to feed off for information.
Our house is too small for us to host however I put on a couple of fundraising events and the village raised £3500 which enabled Ukrainian refugees to travel here safely.
One family have said they are trying to raise money for supplies to friends and family on the frontline. Another family two doors down shared videos of fighting recently and it's a pretty scary and depressing place to be by the looks of things. I know we aren’t Teesside based but we are as Teesside and Boro as anyone else!
I’ve attached the link for the go fund me, please donate if you feel you can, these people we have around us are lovely and their situation is so sad.
