Ukraine has faced almost eight years of conflict. With recent events, we want to be there for everyone who needs us

Story

All funds collected from anglers will go straight to the British Red Cross Society’s Ukrainian Humanitarian Appeal. The Red Cross are on the ground in Ukraine and providing real help now. They are part of the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) which means every pound you give will be matched by the UK Government. Whilst we look forward to going fishing this summer our fellow anglers in Ukraine are facing death, injury and hardship. Please help if you can.

FROM THE RED CROSS

Ukraine is in crisis – please donate


It’s a tense, dangerous, and distressing time. Ongoing violence is causing people to flee their homes and become separated from their families.

In some areas, water, electricity, and phone connectivity have been affected. Many people are taking cover from the shelling in basements and bomb shelters, but are going without the most basic supplies, like food and water. We must act now to protect people caught up in this crisis, in Ukraine and its bordering countries.

How will my donation help people in Ukraine?

Your donation will be used to reach people in urgent need, including:

• Providing food, first aid, clean water, shelter support, warm clothing, hygiene parcels and medicines
• Supporting hospitals and healthcare facilities
• Supporting fire fighters and civil protection units
• Training people up in life-saving first aid
• Helping families stay in contact with each other
• Educating people on the risks of explosives
• Repairing vital infrastructure
• Helping to repair homes, healthcare centres, schools and community centres
The Red Cross has been supporting people affected by this conflict for years, and will not stop now.

What is the Red Cross doing to help Ukrainian people now?

So far, Red Cross teams in Ukraine have distributed over 30,000 food and hygiene parcels and provided food, warm clothes, and other aid to around 8,000 people sheltering in metro stations.
First aid training has also been delivered to over 2,000 people taking cover in metro stations and bomb shelters, so they have the skills to treat their loved ones if needed.

Your donation will help us reach more people.
