Story

In light of the devastating situation unfolding in Ukraine, we know people are keen to do everything they possibly can to help our current and former colleagues who have made an incredibly valuable contribution to the British Council.

Every donation will help, so please do consider giving to our Ukraine Appeal. We really look forward to your support.

Funds will go directly to supporting our current and former colleagues in Ukraine, as well as other colleagues past and present - and their families - around the world who find themselves facing hard times.
