Over the last few months we've heard from a Belper woman who's been desperately trying to get a couple who fled Ukraine to come and live with her and her wife. Sarah Barley McMullen wanted it to be a same-sex couple to help shine a spotlight on LGBT refugees. Shortly after speaking to 鶹 Radio Derby, Sarah was put in put in touch with Yulia and Tetiana. They're translators - one is Russian, one is Ukrainian. It took weeks and weeks but they're now safe in Belper. Tetiana spoke to Twiggy about her new home.
