Barnardo’s Children’s Emergency Fund for Ukraine
Ilford, Greater London, United Kingdom
Aim
The war and ongoing violence in Ukraine has forced families to leave their homes, in search of safety, with many now arriving in the UK.
Will you donate to our Children’s Emergency Fund to support children and families who have fled war in Ukraine?
Help us be there for children when they need us most.
Donate today to help us support young people and their families fleeing the war in Ukraine.
Families have fled everything they know in search of safety.
After terrifying experiences and long, exhausting journeys to get here, children and families entering the UK from Ukraine need immediate practical help.
How we support refugees:
- Offer therapy with a qualified psychotherapist – delivered via the phone or online, with access to interpreters
- Advice on a range of issues e.g., housing, accessing key health services, education, employment and more via our trained helpline support workers
- Practical support - access to digital devices to ensure families stay connected to loved ones during this worrying time, as well as toys for children, vital baby items, food bank vouchers and more
How your donations can help:
£20 could provide credit for a young person, so they can stay in touch with friends and family when they arrive in the UK during this isolating time
£50 could help provide food for five days for a family fleeing conflict
£100 could help provide a set of basic items of clothing for a young person who has left home with next to nothing
Donate today to make a big difference.
Children need help, protection and support in the aftermath of disaster and in the midst of crisis. That’s why Barnardo’s helps children and young people in the UK at their most vulnerable moment.
Our previous work to support refugees from Afghanistan and Syria has provided families with practical help to get established in a new country. We also work directly with children and families to support their recovery from the crushing mental health impact of crises.
Now, we want to offer that same support to Ukrainian families.
Your donation will go directly to Barnardo’s Children’s Emergency Fund, a special fund which allows us to respond rapidly to support children and families whose lives have been devastated by disasters.
In the event we raise more money than is needed to respond to emergencies, we’ll spend any additional funds on other Barnardo’s projects – wherever the need is greatest for children and young people in the UK.
All donations will be made to Barnardo’s, who is a registered charity in England & Wales (216250) and Scotland (SC037605), and a company limited by guarantee.
