Their strength and resilience is unwavering.

Help us to support their work. Donate to our Emergency Appeal via the link in our bio 🇺🇦

“We started an appeal on the 27th of February last year, and we haven’t raised 300 million [like the DEC appeal] but we have raised almost half a million.”

🗣️ Listen to BEARR Trustee Janet Gunn speaking at Chatham House last week, where she explains how funds donated to our Emegency Appeal are being used by our partners to reach the most vulnerable - including the elderly, people with disabilities and IDPs.

🫶 82% of people in Ukraine are either donating or volunteering themselves - an extraordinary and incredibly brave effort.

🇺🇦 100% of funds donated to our appeal is sent to local civil society organisations and voluntary groups who are providing food, clothes, medicine, transport, shelter and psychological support to those in need.

🙏 If you can, please support our campaign so that we can continue funding their vital work. More info at the link in our bio.
