Jersey has been a strong supporter of Ukraine. Since the Russian Invasion the Government and public have committed £2.7 million to humanitarian agencies in Ukraine and neighbouring countries. A small amount but among the highest per capita in the world.
Inside Ukraine we have supplied thousands of trauma kits for medics, dozens of incubators for babies, hundreds of oxygen concentrators and many other essential items, all coordinated with the Ukrainian Ministry of Health, the United Nations and other partners. We were also one of the first donors to send Ukrainian women on training courses in Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD).
In neighbouring countries we have provided support for refugee reception centres in Poland, Slovakia and Moldova and supported much needed Mental Health and Psycho-social Support services for those fleeing the violence.
Jersey Side by Side have been coordinating the fundraising efforts on the island. Please visit their website for more information and updates of ongoing activities.
The dashboard below shows the latest figures on the amount raised and how it is being distributed.
