Ukraine Crisis: how you can help

If you would like to sponsor Ukrainian refugees to come to the UK, you can do so via the ‘Homes for Ukraine Campaign’, which has been launched by the Government. The scheme will allow individuals, charities, community groups and businesses in the UK to bring Ukrainians to safety – including those with no family ties to the UK. You can register your interest by visiting https://www.gov.uk/register-interest-homes-ukraine.

Charities have launched appeals for funds – this is often the best way to get aid to those who need it most

• Disasters Emergency Committee (dec.org.uk)

• British Red Cross

• Unicef

• International Rescue Committee

The YMCA in Melrose Close, Cripple St,  ME15 6BD are collecting specific items to ship over to displaced Ukrainian people and these include personal hygiene and  sanitation products, nappies, over the counter medical supplies, cereals, energy bars,  canned meat or fish.
