We are a grassroots charity that was set up in 2014, soon after the invasion of Ukraine by Russia took place. All members of our group are volunteers and work on the charity’s projects after their day jobs. Our group follows a strict principle that 100% donated to the charity is used for the cause. We have been united by our main goal to make a real and lasting difference to the lives of people who have fallen victim of the war and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, and to help them rebuild their lives in the face of the on-going terror that is not of their making.

British-Ukrainian Aid support vulnerable individuals who have been physically, mentally or socially disadvantaged as a result of the on-going war and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, including the injured and wounded, orphaned children, the elderly, internally displaced persons and refugees. Since the full-scale invasion in February 2022 our main focus has been providing essential medical aid to Ukraine to help with emergency and relief operations.

British-Ukrainian Aid is committed to providing immediate, direct support to individuals as well as building long-term support for the future. We have been working with the Ministry of Health in Ukraine and monitoring the situation regarding critical deficits. We obtain the details of individuals, groups and organisations who require medical and humanitarian aid directly from our contacts on the ground. We establish the most suitable venues for the provision of medical and humanitarian aid in each individual case. For example, we procure and deliver First Aid Kits; we procure and deliver ambulances; we procure and deliver medical supplies and specialised medical equipment; we cover the cost of medical treatment for the individuals in need of medical aid and organisations caring for them; we arrange consultations with British specialists on medical treatment and psychological rehabilitation; we procure and deliver humanitarian aid to organisations and individuals; we support the displaced individuals in need of medical and humanitarian aid. Our list of projects is continually evolving as we learn from the wounded and the displaced about the support they need. We adjust our operation in the face of new and changing demands.

We do support individuals by establishing links with them and by contacting them as directly as we possibly can. Every penny that British-Ukrainian Aid spend supports the recovery and well-being of those affected by war, from big projects like funding the ultrasound machines, baby incubators or rehabilitation courses to the smaller provision of first aid kits and ambulances to paramedics as well as financial aid to individuals and their families to help relieve some of the added stresses resulting from becoming wounded, injured or displaced.

British-Ukrainian Aid look into each case individually. First, we identify people who need medical help by contacting hospitals in Ukraine directly and confirming their identity with local Ukrainian volunteers. Secondly, we ascertain the details of their medical condition. Third, we establish the support they need, i.e., if they are in need of prosthetics or eye treatment equipment or negative pressure wound therapy equipment, etc. Fourth, we cover the cost of the equipment in question or the cost of the physical or mental rehabilitation treatment.

Our primary goal is to provide direct help to people affected by war and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. Their lives have been ruined and they need to be rehabilitated. Our objectives are: 1. To provide assistance to people who are the victims of war, humanitarian crisis, natural disaster, trouble, or catastrophe in particular by the supply of medical and humanitarian aid to such persons and organisations caring for them. 2. To relief the needs of those people who are socially disadvantaged as the result of war and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, and to assist them to integrate into society. 3. To advance the education of the general UK public in Ukrainian culture, its history and current situation. British-Ukrainian Aid would like to enable the injured and wounded, orphaned children, the displaced, the elderly and families who have lost their main earners to re-gain stability in their lives and to provide them with rehabilitation treatment for their physical and mental health conditions as necessary. Our ambition is to adapt quickly to meet the changing needs and demands of those who suffer presently, as well as to meet the challenges of a post conflict era. While we are hoping that the rate of new war casualties will diminish, the demands on our organisation to provide a widening range of support will continue to grow.

We do not carry out trading activities.

We believe that we work efficiently. We are a charity run by volunteers, and 100% donated to us is used for the cause. We are very fortunate to have many dozens of volunteers, who work incredibly hard, while often holding a day job too. We use volunteers who help to answer the phones, reply to emails, top and tail thank you letters and give visitors a friendly welcome. British-Ukrainian Aid is based in Holland Park Avenue in London: we share our offices with Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain (London Branch) to ensure our costs are kept to a minimum. With no overheads, we use the most cost-effective suppliers of goods and services.

We work closely with other organisations to ensure that money goes to the right places and that there is no duplication of effort. We build a network of contacts with various charities, organisations and benefactors in Britain, Ukraine and elsewhere who are equipped and resourced to address the needs of those affected by war and humanitarian crisis. We organise joint fundraising events and share information. Media interest in our charity helped the British public to enhance their understanding of the needs of the casualties of war and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine and appreciate the important role that Ukrainian citizens play while being on the front line to protect the stability in both Ukraine and Europe.

Yes, an increasing number of people are setting up legacies. Every legacy left to British-Ukrainian Aid will make a vital difference to current and future generations of wounded and injured. Many of those injured are young adults who have their whole lives ahead of them. For further information please contact us at info@british-ukrainianaid.org.
