Taste of Ukraine evening at Llanelli Ty Gwyn Community Church

Aug 19, 2022

Sunflowers Wales hosted a sold-out Taste of Ukraine evening at Ty Gwyn Community Church.

We raised £3076.96, which will be used to buy medical supplies and to send humanitarian aid to Ukraine. It was so special to welcome 120 guests and give them a snapshot of Ukrainian cuisine and culture.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the fantastic help and support we had!

Thank you to Pastor Ben, Sam Hodgetts and Tŷ Gwyn Community Church community for allowing us to use their premises and equipment and being helpful and supportive.

Thank you to Dashti Rashid Zabka mini supermarket in Llanelli, for supplying delicious cold cuts of meat, ham and sausages!

Thank you to our kind raffle prize donors: Parc y Scarlets, The Diplomat Hotel, Restaurant & Spa, Llanelli, Claire’s Flowers 4 All Occasions, Ffos Las Racecourse, Marzano’s Caffe Bar, AVO CAFE, John Fronde (Zina Minimurzina),Jane Griffiths

Also, thank you for the support from Llanelli CommunityPartnership, Paolo Piana, Cyngor Sir Gâr - Carmarthenshire County Council, Llanelli Town Council, Pembrey Burry Port Town Council.

Our heartfelt thank you goes to our new Ukrainian families! Everyone worked so hard and gave their all! From cooking to serving to decorating, to cleaning and of course singing, dancing and playing musical instruments! Absolutely bursting with pride and admiration for everyone one of them!
