David and his team have just returned from their most recent trip Ukraine, and we are honoured to have him share his experience and expertise with BEARR’s supporters.

We hope to see you on Monday 27 June!

12 weeks ago we launched our Emergency #UkraineApp

12 weeks ago we launched our Emergency #UkraineAppeal.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, BEARR has sent more than £170,000 to over thirty local organisations supporting vulnerable people in Ukraine and Moldova.

We have been stunned by your support of our campaign, and our partners on the ground regularly share their gratitude in their reports. As they enter their fourth month of war, we continue to support them in all their vital work.

It's been a busy couple of months here at BEARR!

It's been a busy couple of months here at BEARR!

Alongside our Ukraine Appeal, we've been assessing applications for our Small Grant Scheme. This year we sought applications for two separate projects.

Project A invited proposals that aim to improve the social welfare and wellbeing of migrant workers and their families, while Project B asked former BEARR grantees to apply for funding in an effort to support the organisations' resilience.

Check out our preliminary review of the applications over on our website.

This week we received a number of reports from organisations granted funds from our #UkraineAppeal.

One of our partners in Moldova has set up a hostel: "We offer: a Friendly space – Hugs – Psychological support – Time to take a breath – Coffee, tea, food and bed for free – Clothes and humanitarian aid – Support with integration for those who stay – Support with transportation for evacuees."

Meanwhile, another organisation in Ukraine has set up a humanitarian aid centre from scratch. They tell us: "We continue to deliver Help packages! And I am extremely pleased that thanks to your help and support, the work of our humanitarian aid centre is showing a very good result. More and more people are contacting us! Thanks to the work of the Centre, we were able to attract more humanitarian aid!"

You can read more about what our partners in Ukraine and Moldova are telling us in our Website Stories. Link in bio 🔗
