'Welcome to Doncaster!" Council sets up base to greet town's Ukraine war refugees

Doncaster has already welcomed a number of women and children fleeing the deadly invasion by Russia and many more are expected in the coming weeks and months.

Doncaster Council has helped to set up a base at the airport to ensure arrivals get all the help they need.

A spokesman said: “We've already welcomed dozens of Ukrainian guests at our welcome point based in Doncaster Sheffield Airport; some staying in Doncaster, others moving on to surrounding areas.

“From signs created by local schools to snacks and essentials, our team are ready to offer a big Doncaster welcome.

“Our team will be on hand over Easter and beyond, offering support and advice to both guests and sponsors.

“If you're a sponsor picking up guests, you can find our team opposite the arrivals gate.”
