Over the coming month our Hart Square Team will run, walk, cycle or swim 2301 km, which is the distance from London to Kyiv to raise money for Open Dialogue Foundation, an amazing charity in Poland that has worked tirelessly to protect human rights and democracy in the post-Soviet region even before the recent events.

In light of the unprecedented escalation of the war against Ukraine, all of our efforts are directed at supporting the country and its brave people.

The Open Dialogue Foundation (ODF) was established in Poland in 2009 on the initiative of Ukrainian student and civic activist Lyudmyla Kozlovska (who currently serves as President of the Foundation). Since its founding, statutory objectives of the Foundation include the protection of human rights, democracy and the rule of law in the post-Soviet area.
