BBC Radio Solent has learnt that two Dorset holiday parks were the first in a national chain to employ Ukrainian refugees. Haven Holidays took on a number of Ukrainians at their Weymouth Bay and Seaview sites this summer. It came after a Weymouth woman approached the company with her idea. Our reporter Charlotte Foot has been to meet a mother and son who were amongst the first Ukrainians to be employed by Haven, along with Gail Reynolds, whose idea it was, and the manager of the two sites.
