The People of Ukraine Need Your Help
New Forest for Ukraine is a local charity with international impact a group of like-minded volunteers living in the New Forest. We are united by our determination to help the millions of people displaced by the war in Ukraine, and our belief that together we can make a difference.
We focus on collecting and delivering the latest required aid directly to Ukrainian refugees still in Ukraine, and we do so quickly and efficiently.
We work only with vetted and trusted Ukrainian Charity Foundations to ensure the aid is distributed fairly and honestly. Our proof-of-handover systems allow us to track aid ensuring donations get to the people who need them most, including individuals and families sheltering near the conflict zones.
We urgently need both physical and financial donations to maintain our activities. Please help in any way that you can.
We are a Registered Charity and always welcome the opportunity to partner with like-minded groups to support the people of Ukraine.

Chocolate Easter Bunnies for Ukraine
We are collecting chocolate Easter bunnies to send to Ukraine in time for Orthodox Easter on 12th April. While the Easter Bunny is not traditionally part of Ukrainian culture, we hope these small treats will bring a touch of our tradition and, more importantly, moments of joy and smiles for both children and adults during a very difficult time. Every bunny sent is a little reminder that they are not forgotten.
Please ensure all donations are delivered to our HUB in Lymington by Monday, 23rd March.
Thank you so much for taking part - Just a helpful note: Aldi’s chocolate bunnies are available for 99p each. (Other brands are available)
