Tetiana (right) with her Ukrainian friends
Tetiana is a retired Math teacher from Ukraine. She relocated to London in April of 2022, because of the growing conflict in Ukraine.
Tetiana joined one of HealthProm’s art classes in June 2023 because she was looking for a fun activity to do. This experience motivated her to join more activities, including painting, joint gymnastics and gardening where she was able to meet other Ukrainians in London.
Tetiana also needed help to find out more about the disability resources available to her. She has mobility issues and needed assistance for walking around the city. She met with Lena Salomon, HealthProm’s Ukrainian Refugee Project Coordinator, for guidance. While Tetiana initially struggled to receive disability support, Lena referred her to a charity that provides resources for disabled people. Tetiana was able to get a walking frame from the charity and was happy to finally get the support she needed.
Overall, Tetiana said she is ‘very happy with all of the support’ she received and continues to receive from HealthProm.
