Rowlands walk through Petersfield's History

In this heartfelt episode of the Cold Coffee(Kholodna Kava) podcast, host Iva Lomas sits down with Svitlana Naumova to delve into what genuine solidarity looks like between Ukrainians abroad and those navigating daily life back home. Amidst the ongoing challenges, they explore the deeply touching ways direct support from the UK brings warmth and dignity to people and internally displaced families (IDPs) across Ukraine. Beyond practical aid, the conversation highlights the vital emotional bridges that dismantle the distance and ease the burden of guilt often carried by those in emigration.

"A Rest from Shelling": English Speaking Club for Ukrainians

A central theme of our discussion is the launch of our dedicated English Speaking Club for Ukrainians, which has rapidly become far more than just language practice. In Svitlana’s poignant words, these weekly sessions have transformed into a vital emotional sanctuary—a place to "switch off and rest from the shelling and sirens" while fostering real, uplifting human connections. Embracing adult education, the episode also celebrates the empowering journey of learning English after 40, proving that developing new cognitive skills and finding your voice in an international language is a powerful form of resilience at any stage of life.

This month, Julie Butler is joined by Louise Trant at Bramshott Grange. It’s all about doing your homework and finding the right home for your loved ones.

Louise takes Julie on a guided tour of the home, showcasing everything Bramshott Grange has to offer and what to consider when choosing a place that could become a lasting home for you or your loved ones.

Julie then returns to Bramshott Grange, where she meets four very special people. Stan and Doreen are both residents at the home, and they sit down with Toby and Heidi, who are pupils at a junior school in Liphook and whose families have connections with Bramshott Grange.

Together, they chat about school days and discover just how much things have changed since Stan and Doreen were at school themselves.
