Archbishop visits Polish volunteers gathering supplies for Ukrainian refugees

Archbishop John Wilson visited volunteers at the White Eagle Club in Balham, south London, on Ash Wednesday to witness first-hand how the Polish community was responding to the humanitarian tragedy unfolding in Ukraine. The Archbishop of Southwark, armed with some essential supplies for families, saw donations of clothes, pillows, duvets, toys and sanitary products stacked from floor to ceiling at the Polish social club. Hundreds of thousands of displaced people and refugees are trying to cross the border into Poland, Slovakia and Hungary to escape the warzone.
