Support for Ukraine

Hinckley and Bosworth stand in unity and solidarity with the people of Ukraine at this time.

Council Leader, Cllr Stuart Bray has also released a statement. 

“Following the dreadful news that Russia has invaded Ukraine we want to reassure Ukrainian nationals and those of Ukrainian descent of our ongoing support and stand ready to support a government refugee scheme.
