Our pastors know their communities and are well-connected with the people who live there. Working through friendships and relationships, they identify needs and share them with us, and we support them and the church however we can to help meet those needs. Items such as furniture, household appliances, clothes and food are purchased in Ukraine and distributed as needed.

In recent years we have seen an increasing need for medical support in Ukraine. Health care can be expensive with only the very minimum covered by the state. Families of hospitalised patients must purchase medicine and even food for them - costs can quickly stack up. In partnership with our pastors, we are able to identify those who struggle to afford medical care and offer help.  

Since the war began in 2022 we have seen that the winter season - with low temperatures and long hours of darkness - is very difficult to endure, especially for older people. So from November to February we raise extra funds to provide coats and boots, bedding, firewood, thermos flasks and other items to keep people warm.

Recognising that mental health is as important as physical well-being, we also support social initiatives that encourage connection, and combat isolation and loneliness. Read the impact story below for one example of how this is achieved.
