UPDATE 16/11/2022: WINTER CLOTHING CAMPAIGN - As winter heads to Ukraine, temperatures are set to drop well below zero and most of the glass in windows has been shattered due to missile attacks. We are now urgently collecting all types of winter clothes to send out to Ukraine, eg coats, jumpers, ski wear, sleeping bags since supply within the country cannot meet demand. In addition to collecting donations, we will be purchasing brand new thermal socks and underwear for adults and children. Extra monetary donations towards these purchases would be much appreciated so please give what you can and don't forget to gift aid your donation where appropriate.

Ashtead Rotary is raising funds to support families fleeing from wartorn Ukraine. All funds raised are being used to support Rotary's work helping refugees fleeing to Europe, here in UK and in Ukraine itself.

To date, we have sent money to various Rotary districts that neighbour Ukraine, which was used to provide temporary housing, food and medical supplies in the immediate aftermath of the outbreak of war. Rotary was able to provide this help efficiently and effectively.

Further funds have also been spent in the UK to support refugees living in our community. Working with our partner, the Epsom & Ewell Refugee Network and neighbouring Rotary clubs, we have been able to provide English language lessons, school uniform and events to help families settle into their new community and get to know each other's cultures.

As the war continues unabated, we hope that you will continue to support our work to help the people of Ukraine.
