The Ray of Hope Ukrainian crafters of Brighton and Hove initiative to support Ukraine This page will tell more about our project

The Ray of Hope (Mriya B&H) is the name of the charitable initiative to support Ukraine and Ukrainians. A huge part of the initiative is Ukrainian crafters of Brighton and Hove, who create items to fundraise for humanitarian aid and local community support. We participate in craft fairs and charity events to raise money and purchase and deliver much-needed staff for Ukraine. Every item on our stal

l has a story behind it - most of them were created by the local Ukrainian community crafters. Some items travelled from Ukraine, and some - were donated by our friends from around the world.

Witness the gratitude and hear the voices of Kharkiv in this powerful video from our partners, Stezka Nadi Foundation. We've added subtitles so you can experience their heartfelt thanks directly. 🙏 Every vehicle, every effort, makes a difference.

Please join Ukrainian communities around the world in lighting a candle today at 5 p.m. to remember all those affected by the war in Ukraine.

Today marks 1000 days since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Those 1000 days changed the world as we knew it. They brought more grief and loss to our beloved motherland than the previous 80 years since WWII.

Please share this post to spread awareness and show your solidarity with Ukraine.

We are so proud that the Ambulance we worked on so hard became a part of this incredible convoy. It was packed from bottom to top with essential hygiene and medical supplies. Besides this, three more vehicles in this convoy carry our supplies to Ukraine.

We`ll tell you more about this incredible project in our next posts.

Please consider supporting our efforts to purchase one more ambulance. We partnered with Pickup for Peace and Stand for Ukraine - Brighton&Hove to accomplish this ambitious goal.

It was a long time since our last update, but we did not sat idle.

Some time ago, we shared a 2023 report mentioning 16 tonnes of humanitarian aid.
Today, we are delighted to share a report from our First Aid initiative.

We worked hard to raise money via JustGiving campaigns and participate in craft fairs across Brighton and Hove, and as a result, last year, we sent Ukraine medical aid worth £24000.

We thank all our donors and volunteers for their fantastic support! Together, we can make a difference.

We are proud to share our 2023 report.

Our hard work and generous donations from the Brighton and Hove community saved lives and health for many in Ukraine. We receive fantastic feedback from our sister charities in Ukraine.

This is just some of the work that our community group Stand for Ukraine - Brighton&Hove managed to do last year to support those affected by the war. Please find the full report here: https://www.standforukrainebnh.org/2023-hilights
