The People of Ukraine Need Your Help
New Forest for Ukraine is a local charity with international impact a group of like-minded volunteers living in the New Forest. We are united by our determination to help the millions of people displaced by the war in Ukraine, and our belief that together we can make a difference.
We focus on collecting and delivering the latest required aid directly to Ukrainian refugees still in Ukraine, and we do so quickly and efficiently.
We work only with vetted and trusted Ukrainian Charity Foundations to ensure the aid is distributed fairly and honestly. Our proof-of-handover systems allow us to track aid ensuring donations get to the people who need them most, including individuals and families sheltering near the conflict zones.
We urgently need both physical and financial donations to maintain our activities. Please help in any way that you can.
We are a Registered Charity and always welcome the opportunity to partner with like-minded groups to support the people of Ukraine.
New Forest for Ukraine Christmas Campaign 2026
Never Too Early for Xmas
Our Christmas Campaign has officially started although it may seem a little early to be thinking about Christmas, the volunteer elves are already hard at work!
The wonderful army of volunteer elves are busy making the tote bags ready for another very special Christmas Campaign our target this year is to send 2,000 and hope to get the majority of the bags to Ukraine in time for St Nicholas Day on 1st December. A very special day for many Ukrainian families, when children traditionally receive presents and gifts.
Our primary aim is to support children from displaced families, children who are injured, sick or living with disabilities, and children who have a parent serving on the frontline or who have sadly lost a parent on the frontline.
