A vigil will be held in Ipswich on Wednesday 9 March in support of the people of Ukraine. Everyone is welcome to attend the gathering on the Cornhill in Ipswich at 5:30 pm tomorrow.
The vigil will be in solidarity with all who have suffered because of the invasion of Ukraine. The vigil will be led by Tom Mumford, Vicar of St Mary-Le-Tower Church and will include contributions from the Mayor of Ipswich, Councillor Elizabeth Hughes; Archdeacon Rhiannon King and Simon Barrington, former Chief Executive of International Relief Charity - Samaritan’s Purse UK.
As part of the vigil a period of silence will be held during which those attending will be invited to shine a light - so please do bring a candle or a tea light in a jar or a torch or use your mobile phone.
The Mayor of Ipswich, Councillor Elizabeth Hughes, says:
“It is important that we in Ipswich come together as a community to show our solidarity with the people who are suffering as a result of the invasion of Ukraine. I hope to see you at the Vigil on the Cornhill tomorrow to do so.”
You can donate to support the people of Ukraine via the Disasters Emergency Committee’s collection.
