How you can help
Make a donation
We are raising £5,000 to help the Ukrainian Support Community.
The funds we raise will support our community response which will include:
- Providing welcome packs
- Community based activities to support Ukrainians settling into our area
- Signposting to local support services and employment opportunities
- Transport to connect Ukrainians to local support services and employment
- Essential items where no alternative provision can be found
In particular cases of hardship, we are able to fund safe accommodation for Ukrainians, that are waiting for their visas to enter the UK, and are coming to stay with hosts in our group.
Your donation will make a significant difference to the lives of the Ukrainians coming to our community.
