As the war in Ukraine ever tightens it’s grip, causing people to lose loved ones, jobs, homes and sometimes everything they own. One aspect of the war which often goes unnoticed is the plight of the children who’s lives are irreparably damaged by the catastrophe of war.

This tragedy of thousands of children has inspired us to reach out this Easter to let these children know they are not forgotten.

The Polish Centre has been at the heart of providing essential relief to Ukraine since the onset of war over a year ago.

The war in Ukraine is having a devastating impact on the lives of innocent children, they are being stripped of all the normal things children need to live a normal life.

Your contribution will make a significant impact on the lives of these children and we appreciate any support, no matter how small, you can offer.

Together, let’s make this Easter a little sweeter for the war orphans of Ukraine who need it most.

Many thanks for your generosity and support and for making a big difference to the young victims of this horrendous war.

We look forward to celebrating Easter with you in this meaningful way.
