Story
Dear friends of Ukraine and of its people, we encourage you to join us in showing your support for Ukraine and its fight for freedom against Russia’s aggression. People in Ukraine need all the help they can get, and you can help by donating to the British-Ukrainian Aid through our fundraiser or just showing your support through attending some of our events. In the upcoming weeks, you’ll be able to get a ribbon or get your face painted to show your support. We’ll be doing artworks to show our support, and we also encourage you to do so. Share your photos with a Ukrainian flag or your artworks around Dundee or anywhere you live with #MoveForUkraine.
Our project will finalise with a walk from Dundee to Edinburgh in which you can join us.
DUNDEE TO EDINBURGH 7th – 11th of March (134 km/83 m)
To bring awareness to the fundraiser, we will walk from Dundee to Edinburgh. If you want to support us and the cause, you are more than welcome to join us for any part of the walk or even the whole journey. If you would like to join us for more than a day, you can bring a tent or find accommodation nearby. If you live in the area and would like to help us on our journey, we will gladly accept any offer to pitch our tent on your property or just a recommendation on where we could spend the night.

You can like and share our page on facebook called Move for Ukraine so that it would get to as many people as possible. We will be posting updates on the page on what we're doing and how you can help.
