What we do
Our Mission
In October 2022, ukraine2chilterns registered as a charity with the mission to provide ongoing support to our Ukrainian guests and their sponsor families in the following ways:
Practical Support
We help our Ukrainian guests and their sponsor families with everything from accessing English language classes, registering with GPs and finding employment to housing, schools, university and much more. As a result, we have a wealth of information we can share with our guests and sponsors families.
Clothes, Household Items & Furniture
We run a Clothes Barn in Princes Risborough on Saturdays from 1.00 to 3.00pm. The Clothes Barn offers good quality clothing to guests at no cost. It also has household items and some furniture for guests moving to independent accommodation. To find out more, please contact us.
Social & Emotional Support
We offer social and emotional support with a range of activities and events including our Cuppas & Chat coffee & cake afternoons every Saturday 1.00-3.00pm at the Dairy, next to the Clothes Barn in Princes Risborough. If you would like to socialise with other Ukrainian guests and practice your English, please contact us.
Fundraising
As our guests have begun to settle, we are now fundraising for and awarding grants to help our guests take the next step towards living independently in the UK until it is safe to return to Ukraine. To see how our grants have helped our guests, go to Ukrainian Success Stories.
If you would like our help, in the first instance, please go to Useful Links. If you are unable to find what you are looking for, please do get in touch and we will be happy to help.
