For those of you hosting Ukrainians we thought it may be helpful to set out which children’s activity providers have specifically offered to provide free classes and/or services to your young guests. We have also set out which other businesses we believe to be offering their services for free for Ukrainian refugees.
We have set out those of which we are aware. If you are a business and are offering classes (or any other service) for free to Ukrainian refugees, please do get in touch with us at [email protected] and we will update our list. Thank you!
Please do contact the businesses to double check availability and to book; some businesses only provide small group classes so there may be limited availability.
