The radio show “Razom” on ALLFM 96.9 – the voice of the Ukrainian community in Manchester and the UK

In the latest episode of the popular project “Where to Live?”, dedicated to Manchester, the city’s Ukrainian community shared their experiences of adaptation, work, volunteering, and cultural integration in the United Kingdom. The program became a great opportunity to tell a wider audience about the lives of Ukrainians, their challenges, and their achievements in a new country.

A special focus in the episode was given to the author’s radio show “Razom” on ALLFM 96.9, hosted by Anatolii Shalaiev. This program has already become a true symbol of Manchester for the Ukrainian community. “Razom” is more than just a radio broadcast; it is a platform for support, unity, and preserving cultural identity. On the airwaves of ALLFM, Ukrainian songs are played, important topics for newcomers are discussed, and there is always space for heartfelt stories and volunteer initiatives.

Manchester continues to be a city where Ukrainians find a new home, and projects like “Where to Live?” and “Razom” help make this journey warmer and easier for everyone.
