Christmas Project 2022

This year our Christmas project for the children was different format. At this point in time, it will not be possible for the charity to visit the families in Ukraine to deliver the programme but there is no way the charity wants to let the children down.

Not only do they deserve to receive Christmas presents but they desperately need a break from the mental stress of what has surrounded them since February 2022.

The charity came up with a plan that will enable to keep to our commitment for the children.

The charity brought approx. 100 children from Ukraine by coach to Poland close to the border with Ukraine. The charity accommodated the children for approx. 4 days to allow the charity to give them a variety of activities to include Christmas Parties together with a visit from Santa, BBQ’s in the forest, Cinema, Pizza Making experience and craft workshops.

In addition, the charity brought a further group of children who are currently refugees within Poland. Their parents will accompany them on “day visits” to organised activities.

The charity is also going to be using this Christmas Project to evaluate further possibilities for people to be able to engage “on the ground” in our work.

The charity hopes it may be possible to arrange group visits to possibly help with other projects. This will also add to our portfolio of being able to demonstrate to the UK Government that even in the current drastic situation, the charity is able to bring children out of Ukraine in a safe and secure manner and the difference this can make to their mental and physical well being.

The charity will still actively pursue the case to bring children to the UK but while this is not possible as yet, could there be a case for the charity to go to them in Poland and organise camps or similar where volunteers can take an active part.

All of this is under discussion and nothing will happen overnight but it does give hope for the future and a positive outlook for being able to still engage with the children as the charity has always done.
