Essential services are under threat for those suffering, and Red Cross believes everyone caught up in this conflict needs to be supported. Your donation to Red Cross will help someone affected get food, water, first aid, medicines, warm clothes and shelter.

Dominik Stillhart, ICRC Director of Operations, said on the Red Cross website: “Extremely worrying news from Ukraine where millions are at risk of deadly consequences.”

Save The Children Ukraine Appeal:

The war in Ukraine is forcing children and their families to move into basements and bomb shelters to protect themselves.

Families that have fled will require help with shelter, food and clean water, and Save the Children are working hard to support these children and their families.

By donating to Save the Children’s Ukraine emergency fund, they will be able to support Ukrainians by distributing essential humanitarian aid to children and their families, delivering winter and hygiene kits, providing cash grants to help families meet basic needs, providing access to safe education, and working with children to overcome mental and psychological impacts of the conflict.

Henryk Matysiak’s Ukraine Collection:

Henryk Matysiak, a retired firefighter from Barnsley, has family in Poland and has decided to start a collection for Ukrainians fleeing to Poland.

At the moment, Henryk is looking for donations of items such as clothes, mattresses, toys, food, nappies, blankets and plenty more. He is currently not looking to raise money as that will come later on a GoFundMe page.

He has set up seven collection points in Sheffield and Barnsley for people to drop off donations and is looking to bring all these items together to be transported to Poland.

He is also looking for anyone to help transport, fuel, collection, donating and a central storage facilities. He need volunteers who can help on a daily basis as he looks to help fleeing Ukrainian families.

Information on drop off points and volunteering can be found on Henryk’s facebook page.
