Hair shaves and leg waxes are all to come this week, as our sites across the country take part in a series of fundraising events to support the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, as well as comic relief for Red Nose Day. On top of fancy dress and bake-off competitions, our directors Peter Evans and Peter Greenhalgh will be having their hair shaved off, as well as a leg wax for our Managing Director Karl Hodgkinson.

Following the events in Ukraine, we have launched an emergency appeal. Communities are bearing the brunt of eight long years of conflict. We are very concerned about the recent intensification of fighting in eastern Ukraine over the past few days. Please donate today if you can. Even before recent developments, this is a conflict that hits people daily on personal, psychological and emotional level, bringing death, injury, separation from loved ones as well as the huge mental toll of ongoing violence and insecurity. How will my donation help people in Ukraine? We are responding to needs of people by: Repairing vital infrastructure such as water stations supplying water to over 800,000 people. Supporting small businesses with cash grants or equipment and vocational training. Raising awareness of mines through training and educational sessions run with the URCS and providing mine warning signs to mark dangerous areas. Helping repair homes, healthcare centers, schools
