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.
We have launched our 2026 ‘Soup & Soap’ campaign
One can of soup and one bar soap can really make a big difference.
Soup seems like a very simple food but the benefits inside that can are bigger than you think, a comfort food that provides warmth, hydration, nourishment and can also boost immunity
A bar of soap comes with much more than bubbles lather, it is a power tool for dignity, health restoring a sense of value
Two simple products with one big impact, please join our ‘Soup & Soap’ campaign pop these into your shopping basket and Deliver a Future of Hope to the people of Ukraine
