Supporting the People of Ukraine

Despite the new circumstances that our world is facing, we are continuing to work on what we have been doing for the past 7 years - supporting the mental health and development of the most vulnerable children with physical and mental health needs.

True to our roots and heritage, we will continue to support projects that help vulnerable children in Russia and the UK. However, in response to the current crisis, we will also be working to provide psychological support to children fleeing the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.

While we work behind-the-scenes to understand how we can best respond to the emergency needs of children in this highly challenging context, here are some ideas of other ways that you can support the people of Ukraine through arts:

  1. SUPPORT MAKERS OF UKRAINE
    Search Etsy for sellers in Ukraine who sell digital products (knitting patterns, digital art downloads etc.) This is one way to ensure resources go to a vulnerable small business owner + Etsy has waved all Ukrainian seller fees as a show of support.

  2. UKRAINIAN ARTIST RESIDENCIES
    Finland-based art organisations are offering residencies and accommodation for artists fleeing Ukraine. Click here for details.

  3. AN OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS
