Stand for Ukraine Brighton & Hove proudly supports
THE RAY OF HOPE community initiative.
This group of volunteers worked from the beginning of the full-scale invasion to collect humanitarian aid and deliver it to those in Ukraine.
The group uses several approaches to fundraising, such as running JustGiving campaigns, participating in fundraising events, and running craft stalls at craft fairs selling self-made or donated craft items.
In 2023, the initiative managed to supply 16 tons of humanitarian aid, including medical items worth over £ 24,000.
We thank our supporters and donors for their continuous support. Together, we are making a difference in Ukraine.

Justgiving campaigns
Support animals affected by the war in Ukraine
The project is raising money to purchase and deliver pet food and pet care items to Ukraine. We are working with a charity in the Kharkiv region, which russian attacks have badly damaged. We also work with the veterinary hospital for working dogs, such as sniffer dogs.
After the disaster of Nova Kahovka Dam and the flooding of part of the Kherson Region, we also support shelters that host rescued animals.
More than 3 tonnes of pet food and pet care items were sent to Ukraine and 500 killogrames are waiting for the delivery.
Help us to deliver humanitarian aid to Ukraine
In the last two years, we have sent more than 25 tonnes of humanitarian aid (16 tonnes in 2023), including first aid items, electro generators, medical equipment, walk aid, pet food and care items, warm clothes and much more.
From the beginning of this year, we already sent 200 kg of Humanitarian aid, including First aid items, slipping bags, thermal underwear and hand warmers.
But the need continues. Since the start of 2024, we've already sent 200kg of essential supplies, including first aid, sleeping bags, thermal underwear, and hand warmers. We have 3 more tonnes ready to go and expect another 1500kg this week.
However, delivering this crucial support costs around £1000 per tonne.
This is where you come in: With the rising cost of living impacting everyone, we urgently need your help to cover these delivery costs. Every donation, big or small, will make a real difference.
