With the horrific news about the events in Ukraine, it is understandable that our community may want to help those affected by the humanitarian crisis.
With the amazing efforts of residents donating items for transport to Ukraine, organisers are now asking that if you are thinking of helping in any way, if you are able, please can you provide a donation to aid organisations working in the region.ย To help, here is a list of four organisations and a little information about the work they do:
- ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐, which has launched an appeal to help the Ukrainian Red Cross to provide food, medicine, clothing and shelter, as well as first aid training in bomb shelters, and drinking water to villages in eastern Ukraine
- ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐จ๐ก๐๐๐ฅ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ณ๐๐ด๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐, which is funding emergency shelters, repairs for homes damaged by shelling, emergency cash assistance, psychological support and warm clothing
