Support Ukraine
More than a million people have fled their homes to escape conflict in Ukraine. Your support will help provide urgent shelter, food and water to families in need. You can donate via the Disaster Emergency Committee or you can donate via the Payroll Giving Scheme and have your donation boosted at no cost to you. Donating this way means that charities do not have to use administrative costs in chasing Gift Aid. With the payroll giving scheme you can donate to any registered charity such as The British Red Cross, Save the Children, Islamic Relief and Oxfam on a one off or a regular monthly basis.
