Here are some of the practical ways you can help and show solidarity from the UK.

How to help the people of Ukraine from Manchester

Give to the Disaster Emergency Committee

By donating to this Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal, you’ll be contributing to the provisions of essential hygiene supplies, blankets, food, and more. Plus, the UK government has pledged to “match pound-for-pound up to £20 million donated by the public to this appeal”, so any amount could end up going a very long way. Visit the website to donate.

Thousands of Mancs have already been donating anything they can to help provide for the people of Ukraine – so much so, the Ukrainian Cultural Centre has been overwhelmed with the community’s generosity. If you think you have any key provisions – whether it be blankets, sleeping bags, wipes, helmets, tampons, or masks – that you could donate, find your nearest collection point to drop them off. Plenty of items are welcome, but those making donations have been urged to check what is accepted before dropping supplies off.
