'We're like sisters' - meet the Londoners who are hosting refugees this Christmas
Colette Fleming pictured at her east London home with Ukrainian refugee Olena Zotsenko. With the help of charity Refugees at Home, generous Londoners have opened up their houses to people fleeing persecution around the world. Celebrities including Gary Lineker have signed up with the charity, which has brought an extraordinary group of people together this Christmas.
Colette Fleming and Olena Zotsenko
From her 15th floor flat in the North of Kyiv, Olena Zotsenko could see the Russian army invading her hometown out of the window.
Over in East London, legal secretary Colette Fleming, 54, was watching on the news. Colette had always loved living alone, and thought she'd never want to share her flat in Plaistow. But watching the bombardment of Ukraine, she started to change her mind.
Colette contacted Refugees at Home. As a woman living by herself, she wanted to make sure to get someone who was a good fit for her, and they put her in touch with Olena.
Bureaucracy delayed Olena's move by months. When it finally came through. Colette travelled to Warsaw to meet Olena from the train, to make her feel more welcome. Together, they flew back to her new home.
Colette asks her not to, Olena likes to help around the house: she helps clean, and cooks borscht once a week. The pair watch TV together, and Colette helped with Olena's CV - after months of trying, Olena got a job at Metrobank. They will have a quiet Christmas together, as Olena saves up money in the hope of going back to see her family and fiancé again soon. Both agree they are "more like sisters" now.

'We're like sisters' - meet the Londoners who are hosting refugees this Christmas
Nuns from Faithful Companions of Jesus (FCJ) in east London with one of two El Salvadorian refugees who live in their convent. Left to right: Katherine O'Flynn, Bernadette O'Malley, Anouska Robinson-Biggin refugee Stefanie Padilla, Gloria Calabrese and Teresa White. With the help of charity Refugees at Home, generous Londoners have opened up their houses to people fleeing persecution around the world. Celebrities including Gary Lineker have signed up with the charity, which has brought an extraordinary group of people together this Christmas.
Colette Fleming and Olena Zotsenko
From her 15th floor flat in the North of Kyiv, Olena Zotsenko could see the Russian army invading her hometown out of the window.
Over in East London, legal secretary Colette Fleming, 54, was watching on the news. Colette had always loved living alone, and thought she'd never want to share her flat in Plaistow. But watching the bombardment of Ukraine, she started to change her mind.
Colette contacted Refugees at Home. As a woman living by herself, she wanted to make sure to get someone who was a good fit for her, and they put her in touch with Olena.
Bureaucracy delayed Olena's move by months. When it finally came through. Colette travelled to Warsaw to meet Olena from the train, to make her feel more welcome. Together, they flew back to her new home.
Colette asks her not to, Olena likes to help around the house: she helps clean, and cooks borscht once a week. The pair watch TV together, and Colette helped with Olena's CV - after months of trying, Olena got a job at Metrobank. They will have a quiet Christmas together, as Olena saves up money in the hope of going back to see her family and fiancé again soon. Both agree they are "more like sisters" now.
