We are raising money to help Ukrainians fleeing from war that will buy life-saving and vital support for many of the hundreds of thousands of innocent people forced to flee their homes.

Our campaign raises more than £60,000 on first day

Working with the Red Cross and Save The Children, we will be giving aid to Ukrainians crossing the border in freezing temperatures into Poland, Romania, Hungary, Moldova and Slovakia, as well as people displaced from their homes within Ukraine.

The fundraiser, part of our Refugees Welcome appeal, will deliver accommodation, clothing, food, sanitary goods, medicines, toys and other necessities.

It will allow people escaping the war to phone loved ones left behind and follow developments on the internet.
