It’s nearly a year since the lives of Ukrainian citizens were devastated and impacted in every way imaginable. Since then, many of those people have found themselves displaced in foreign countries - one of those countries being Wales. I’m glad to say that Ukrainians - as well as refugees of other nationalities - have been welcomed into Welsh communities with open arms. It’s for this reason that I’ve come to write this piece - reflecting on the role of colleges within communities to support refugees.
