From Loss to Strength: Support the Ukrainian Women

Aim

Help 11 Ukrainian women who lost loved ones to war find strength through golf and take part in a tournament.

From Loss to Strength: Support the Valkyries

Eleven Ukrainian women who have lost loved ones to the war have found something unexpected in golf: a new challenge, a supportive community and a meaningful part of their journey towards rehabilitation and renewed confidence.

Through Golf Motion, a project run by the Ukrainian NGO Healing the Soul and supported by UAID International, the women - known as the Valkyries - have been learning Pitch & Putt as part of a wider programme of rehabilitation and recovery. Through sport, they are discovering focus, resilience, companionship and the confidence to move forward.

Now they have the opportunity to take the next step: to participate in a Pitch & Putt tournament in Slovenia on 10 October 2026.

We are raising funds to cover their participation fees. £175 gives one woman her place in the tournament. Our goal is to make it possible for all 11 women to take part.

This is about more than a tournament. It is part of a continuing process of rehabilitation through sport - an opportunity to travel as a team, put newly acquired skills into practice, build confidence and experience a sense of achievement after profound personal loss.

Every contribution, whatever the amount, brings the Valkyries closer to the first tee in Slovenia.

Help us get all 11 women there.

Thank you for your support!
