Help us help Ukraine
Started shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, 2022, becoming a UK registered charity on July 7th, 2022.
Providing aid to Ukraine with an emphasis on orphans, special needs children, hospitals, displaced persons, families who have lost fathers, the injured, and the very needy.
We deliver in Ukraine via a Ukraine registered charity in Brovary, near Kyiv, “From Dreams to Reality”.
We have visited From Dreams to Reality in Ukraine and their founding Trustee has visited us here.
We collect goods as specified by From Dreams to Reality based on their local needs. See our Needed page. Currently in 2026 Bedding but previously Clothing, Shoes, Food, Cooking and Eating Utensils etc.
We collect cash to cover both transportation costs to Kent and on to Ukraine, and for purchasing items needed in Ukraine such as Medicines, Medical (Tourniquets and First Aid Kits), Hygiene Products, Baby Food, Nappies etc. Occasionally we transfer cash to the Brovary charity for specific items eg Winter Sleeping Bags, Stoves, a Generator and a Van for collection, distribution, and front-line trips.
We are a low overhead charity and provide ongoing photographic feedback of where aid money and goods end up. See our Galleries pages, especially Recipients.
We ship via charity colleagues in Tunbridge Wells, Kent Relief.
Goods sorting, packing, weighing, and labelling, is carried out enthusiastically by our amazing Ukrainian Ladies Packing Team, all based locally.
