A Kent MP rolled up her sleeves to help champion boxer Amir Khan build a playground for Ukrainian orphans.

Representative for Deal and Dover Natalie Elphicke made the trip to Poland with fellow politicians last week to see how the country and those who have been displaced are responding to the crisis.

While there, she worked with the AK Foundation, founded by the two-time world champion himself.

Together, they helped build an outdoor play area for an orphanage which has been set up at a holiday home park.

In videos shared by Amir on his Instagram, they can be seen digging the footings for the new fitness area as well as handing out gifts to refugees.

Other clips shows the youngsters enjoying the new apparatus which includes a trampoline.

While there, Mrs Elphicke also met with Ukrainian aid agencies, Polish officials and politicians.

She said: “Helping to build the outdoor playground for refugee orphans with Amir Khan was such an amazing experience.

“It was incredible to see how well Poland has responded to over two million refugees arriving in just six weeks.

"The quality of accommodation, food and care that Poland has been providing to the refugees is exceptional.

“I also met with a number of Polish officials and politicians. What was clear from these discussions is that the situation in Ukraine is seen as a grave danger to Poland’s own security as well as that of Ukraine.

“Our countries, the United Kingdom and Poland, are so united in our determination to help Ukraine win the war.

"Together, we stand with Ukraine in providing the money, weapons and hospitality they need to face down the Russian aggression.”
