Ukrainian children get to forget troubles at home with visit to funfair - Steve Cardownie

The Ukrainian group enjoy the funfair at Musselburgh

A good friend of mine, Keith Taylor, provided some Ukrainian refugees with free passes for his funfair at Musselburgh last weekend.

Having visited Kyiv before, where he was taken aback by the warm welcome extended to him by the city’s residents, he was keen to do “his little bit” in helping some of the refugees forget about the Russian invasion of their country for a few hours.

He told me that he was aware that the children in particular were in need of some entertainment and was only too happy to help out so he provided them all with complimentary armbands which allowed them to go on any of the attractions free of charge as often as they liked.
