Everyday histories: the Ukrainian Community in Reading

The Ukrainian Community Centre has been part of Reading’s social and cultural life since 1959, created by post-war Ukrainian families who made Berkshire their home. Over the decades, the centre has been a place for community gatherings, language, traditions, celebrations, and support across generations. Today, the centre continues this role by welcoming newly displaced Ukrainians. Explore the centre and learn more about the Ukrainian community in Reading. A Ukrainian café will be open serving traditional Ukrainian food and refreshments.
