SUPPORT UKRAINE NOW
The People of Ukraine urgently need your help
New Forest for Ukraine is 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 and those still in Ukraine, and we do so quickly and efficiently.
As of November 2024, we have sent over 397 metric tonnes. Now we are shipping by truck, we turn each £1 of cash donated into £100 worth of delivered aid. We also do what we can to ensure door-to-door traceability to ensure your donations get to the people who need them most, including individuals and families sheltering on the front line.
We urgently need both physical and financial donations to keep our operations going. Please help in any way that you can. All of our team are volunteers, and are doing what we can to support, collect, sort and transport aid.
We welcome the opportunity to partner with like-minded groups to support the people of Ukraine.
We are a Registered Charity.
