How you could help Ukraine

March 6, 2022

The following is a list of 29 ways in which you might be able to help the Ukrainian situation. I haven’t included extreme measures like going over there to fight, offer accommodation to refugees, dive a truck laden with supplies or offer your home as a depot for people to bring donations to. My aim was to collate a list of ways that ordinary people could contribute, even if only in a small way.

The list which follows is very much UK-centric. Feel free to adapt this or copy/paste it for your own use, as I’m publishing it under a CC BY-NC-SA licence, which means:

This license lets others remix, adapt, and build upon your work non-commercially, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms.

1.     Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain (AUGB)

2.     British Red Cross

3.     British Ukrainian Aid 

4.     Cafod: Donate online

5.     Care International 

6.     Choose Love 

7.     Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal The UK government is match-funding donations up to a maximum of £20m.

8.     Donate supplies locally: look in local social media groups, such as Next Door (see below), local newspapers and websites, hospitals, residential homes, places of worship you attend. (See screenshot of an appeal in the area in which I live.) What sort of supplies? Look at the list here to get some idea of what’s needed:
Redbridge drive for Ukraine.

9.     Donate money: see other links here and also local opportunities (see above)

10.  East European Resource Centre
