Quakers have been asked if they can sponsor a seventeen-year-old boy from Ukraine. A trusteee of the Friend, Peter Kennedy from Aberdeen Meeting, put out the call in the Edinburgh Quaker newsletter Terrace Talk. He said: ‘I have been asked by a friend of mine, Debra Storr, to see if any Quaker or their friends may be able to assist. Debra is in correspondence with a 17-year-old Ukrainian lad. Desperate to get to UK, but parents are fighting so he needs to come as an unaccompanied minor.’
