A High Peak charity is hosting English lessons for Ukrainian refugees who have moved to the area. 

The lessons will be taking place at Zink from Monday and any Ukrainians who want to attend are encouraged to turn up, there is no need to book.  

The charity based in Buxton has been working with Buxton Homes for Ukraine, Hope Valley Sanctuary and High Peak Friends of Ukraine to support refugees to settle into the area.  

Paul Bohan, CEO at Zink, explained: “We are supporting some refugees on our employability programmes into work, and it has become clear that English lessons are vital to that.  

“A number of qualified and experienced teachers of English as a foreign language came forward to offer to help.”  

Classes will be held at Zink HQ on Market Street Car Park, Clough Street, Buxton at 1pm every Monday and will last between 60 and 90 minutes.  

There will be different levels to suit individual ability, so they are open to complete beginners and those with some knowledge.
