Keen to meet new people, practise your English, and take part in something meaningful? Join them for the Sustainable Community Cooking Workshop—the first event from our New Scots Group—in collaboration with Spiders for Ukraine! Explore the rich tradition of Ukrainian Borsch, a flavourful sour soup made with meat stock, fresh vegetables, and aromatic seasonings, cherished across Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. As you cook together, you’ll also hear moving stories from Spiders for Ukraine, a volunteer group that handcrafts camouflage nets from recycled materials to support those on the front line in the ongoing fight for democracy and freedom in Ukraine. Be part of a powerful experience that unites community, culture, and cause.
