A children's orphanage
We bring clothes, coats, art supplies and anything else the carers ask for.
About us
Neighbours who decided to drive
Weald Aid for Ukraine is run entirely by volunteers from Horsted Keynes and Forest Row. No offices, no salaries, just people, vans and a lot of miles.
Why a flower?
A little sign of hope from Kyiv
On Martin's first trip to Kyiv, after a night of attacks and damage, he found a perfect little flower growing in Ukraine's national colours, blue and yellow. We turned it into the graphic you see on everything we do. In a time of destruction and fear, it felt positive and inspiring, and it still reminds us why we keep going.
