Voices of Ukrainians in Greater Manchester
The Voices of Ukrainians in Greater Manchester project aimed to gather stories and insights from Ukrainian nationals who recently arrived in Greater Manchester. Through 1:1 semi structured interview, we sought to understand their experiences, reflections on the community response upon arrival, their current needs, and their aspirations for the future.
This project was delivered by Europia, commissioned by Macc on behalf of a partnership of VCSE organisations and support bodies responding to the needs of sanctuary seekers in Greater Manchester, including: 10GM, Macc, Salford CVS, Bolton CVS, Action Together, Bury VCFA, Caritas Salford, Caritas Shrewsbury, Foundation 92, Manchester City of Sanctuary and The Pankhurst Trust/Mcr Women’s Aid.
We want Ukrainian’s stories to be heard by decision makers, in turn allowing them to be more responsive to identified needs. We aim to use the learning to influence medium and longer-term planning by statutory and VCSE support providers, provide valuable insight on improving future emergency responses in Greater Manchester, and to empower those who participate.
