Helping Children of Ukraine CIC

Helping Children of Ukraine CIC, is a non-profit charity based in St. Austell, Cornwall. Since February 2022, we have been working with charities in Ukraine to support children and families affected by the Russian invasion. Our projects include collecting and shipping relief supplies, helping Ukrainian families match with host families in the UK, aiding transportation arrangements, and hosting social events with partner charities. In addition, we offer programs such as art therapy, baking, traditional crafts, and dance groups, through our collaboration with Cornwall Neighbourhoods for Change. We also provide assistance and support for sponsors opening their homes to Ukrainian refugees.

Christmas Concert: Blessings for Ukraine
This concert has been organised to raise enough money to pay for two second-hand ambulances to be bought and sent to Ukraine.   The line-up is superb, featuring some of the very best choirs in the South West, some great solo performances, and an appearance by Sir Michael Morpurgo who has written a special story about a Ukrainian girl who makes her way to the UK.
Relief Missions
In our most recent Relief Aid Mission, we drove across Europe and into Ukraine, delivering urgently needed medical supplies and essentials to families affected by the war. Our objective is to support children, mothers, and fathers affected by the conflict in Ukraine, both in Cornwall and in Ukraine.
