PROJECTS

Book launch - Petal and Peck

Our very own children's book, illustrated by a Ukrainian girl, Nastia Petrokvitka and written in both languages at the same time, the book talks about giving good to the World. Cute, educational, and more importantly, personal to our charity, this book has already been sold around the world, raising much needed funds. With the sponsorship of Bright Surprise and Central European Staffing, every penny goes to those in need!

Spirit of Ukraine Festival

We attended our first big London festival in September and had a stall selling our UFUF products. We really appreciated the effort of 11 year old Jenia Gonchar, for painting 3 pictures; to Mr and Mrs Mustafaev who proudced our exciting hand made sunflower pazzle game; to Tanya Kostavelli for wooden hand made coasters; to Svitlana Kruckaliuk for amazing leather goods with our logo and to Nataliia Wayson for hand painted mugs! All money raised at this Festival will go to Sumy region children in need.

Second hand toy sale

04/10/2014 UFUF held a second hand toy sale of donated toys and a raffle. The event was well supported by local businesses including local branches of Boots and Tesco. We also received coverage in the local press.

Children's entertainment "Snow"

In December we held a craft afternoon for children to make Christmas cards, snowflakes and decorations. We had a professional photographer on hand who took pictures "in the snow". Entry fees raised funds for the charity.

Christmas concert

Just before Christmas we arranged for a group of performance school children to give a small charity carol concert with donations to help our funds.

Coffee morning

On the 28th February we held a coffee morning in aid of UFUF. It was a huge success with the support of local British people and Ukrainians in Kent and London. Local businesses donated fantastic prizes including an Itallian meal for two and cinema tickets.
