Story
You can help us to take direct action to help those most in need.
After almost a year, the war in Ukraine shows no sign of ending, with millions displaced and acts of terror being carried out on a daily basis on innocent people and families.
Although now based in the UK, Riverside Hub's owner, Valentina, is Ukrainian and has family and friends still there.
Using trusted contacts within Ukraine, we're delivering aid and helping out people who so badly need our help.
Some of the places we've delivered aid to include hospitals in Slavuta and Romodanova and a relocated orphanage and bomb-damaged hospital in Vinnytsia.
Recently we have been buying heat packs for people, as many homes have no heating, as the electricity and gas has been disrupted.
We work with volunteer groups in Ukraine who buy food and supplies and deliver it directly to families and medical teams in the most badly affected areas.
Every penny of your donation will be spent on buying essential items and transporting them to people that need them now.
Riverside Hub started the campaign with a £20,000 donation to help out as many people as we possibly can. Each shipment is really making a difference.
However large or small your donation, every penny will be spent on aid and is very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Ellis and Valentina Potter

2 years agoAs Putin's war is failing, he is becoming desperate and is now deliberately targeting civilians. Power plants are being bombed all over the country, leaving millions of people with no heating or electricity, as the cold winter approaches. We are buying hand gel heat packs, to make families lives a little more bearable. Your support is very much appreciated. Thank you

3 years agoIt's now 100 days since Russia invaded Ukraine. Sadly, there is no end in sight and so many people are still in desperate need of things that we all take for granted, such as food and medicine. We will continue to get aid into hard to reach towns, where many aid agencies are unwilling or unable to deliver to, as it is just not safe. Please donate whatever you can, so we can continue to support people who desperately need our help. Thank you

3 years agoWe're almost there! Hub Help Ukraine has raised over £90,000 of our £100,000 target to help people struggling in Ukraine. Our latest aid effort is working with locals to deliver food parcels into towns and villages in dangerous areas that most humanitarian aid cannot get to. Your donation could get much needed food to people who so badly need it. Thank you 💛💙 🇺🇦
