Supporting Refugees and Ukrainian guests

A group to support refugees and Ukrainian guests, hosted in the Community Centre, has been set up by Potton Town Council and includes councillors, St Mary’s Church members and interested people from our Potton Community.

The aim of the Potton Refugee Response Group is to support both refugees and Ukrainian guests that come to live in Potton. We want to ensure that our refugees and Ukrainian guests feel welcome in Potton and are aware of local amenities and activities and may need help with settling into their new environment.

If you want to get involved with Potton’s Refugee Response Group, please contact Lindsay Kitchener on lindsaykitchener@gmail.com
