Nearly 500 refugees are currently being house in glamping facilities in Stradbally.
There's a "surprisingly positive" mood among Ukrainian refugees staying in tents in the midlands, according to Laois Integration Network.
At the moment, there are less than 500 people fleeing the war being housed in glamping facilities on the grounds of Electric Picnic.
The contract for the site is for a period of six weeks, and L-I-N says refugees are being moved to more suitable accommodation every couple of weeks.
Volunteer Linda Loughnane says the Ukrainians have been "blown away" by the local support from people in Laois, and outlines what they need to continue to help:
