Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, many people in London, and across the world, have been wondering how they can support fleeing Ukranians. The United Nations says one million refugees have fled across the borders of Ukraine since Russian forces invaded a week ago.
Many have fled quickly and been forced to leave behind all their possessions, and won’t have access to necessities such as clothing, toiletries, medicine and food.
Londoners can support the Ukrainian refugees by donating to one of the many donation points set up across the city.
Take a look at the different charities and donation points set up where Londoners can support Ukrainian refugees.
