Paul Fox, UK Ambassador to Hungary:
“I was delighted to attend the St George’s Day celebration in Budapest and I am grateful to XpatLoop Hungary for organising this inaugural event. The local British community and our Hungarian and international friends have again shown that we are ready to give a helping hand to all those in need. This time, we raised funds for children and families in Ukraine. I couldn’t think of any worthier way to commemorate England’s national day.”
