In May 2022 Families4Peace opened a community centre at a local Camden School to welcome newly displaced Ukrainian families who had arrived in London after escaping the tragic conflict in their country. The community hub created a welcoming, safe and trustworthy environment to help these families settle into their new lives. We have continued monthly sessions this year to offer a much-needed link to the established community, helping people find each other, build friendships, and create a strong sense of belonging. The success of the hubs is largely thanks to the dedication of our community ambassadors and volunteers, who provide personalised and culturally sensitive support, making each session welcoming and effective. We partnered with other charities and organisations to assist these families with essential services such as housing, employment, education, childcare, universal credit, and healthcare. We continue to run a well-being program, created with the goal of alleviating isolation and assisting with integration into the wtder community. The Charity trustees have followed the public benefit guidance as published by the Charity Commission in all our operations. Achievements and performance In the Financial year August 2024 July 2025, Families4Peace continued to meet the needs of the local Ukrainian community through our frequent Community Hub events, regular activity programs, moderation of our ever-growing Ukrainian VVhatsApp group and communication through our other social media platforms. We continue to work with our Community Ambassador team of leaders with lived refugee experience. The team helps to run our programs and liaise with guests for signposting and other support. We regularly meet with the Community Ambassadors to receive feedback and input to ensure we are allocating our resources and program efficiently. Our Community Hub sessions incorporate expert guest speakers, a staffed information desk addressing important issues offering vital information and signposttng to other local programs. We run children's sports and craft activities. A yoga instructor leads a well-attended class at our Community Hub. We partner with local charities to lead football on the playground for children. Our young volunteers from local secondary schools offer homework support for students in school years 7-11. Our volunteer team includes many families from Camden as well as a group of sixth form students interested in developing good citizenship skills and an appreciation for community service. The peer-to-peer support we've been able to foster has had a positive effect on both our volunteers and younger service users. Families4Peace Is also fortunate to be supported by corporate sponsors for our refreshments. Families4Peace CIO Trustees. Annual Report (contlnued) Year ended 31 July 2025 Achlovements and perfom)ance (contlnued) In addition to our community hub sessions, we have introduced other activities to encourage community building, promote well-being, and facilitate integration within the wider community. Regular activities include group emotional support sessions, yoga, weekly craft and English conversation sessions and twice weekly Nordic walking with pension-aged Ukrainians. Families4Peace embarked on a Commemorative Quilt project which was created by more than 30 members of our community and entered for exhibit at Europe's largest annual textile fair and on display at Swiss Cottage Library. Through our weekly craft sessions our group of crafters organised a BT phonebooth installation for International Women's Day collaborating with service users from two other local charities. We continued the popular family zoo days out, cultural outings to Museums, Art Exhibitions, Kew Gardens, Chiswick Gardens and concerts. We are collaborating with the Postal Museum where we are able to hold family outings through their community access scheme. Families4 Peace are also exploring how to create post box topper-making sessions at the museum with our service users as well as others from several local charities. Our team of Community Ambassadors are creating a Ukrainian lending library at Belsize Community Library to encourage Camden's Ukrainian community to explore the local libraries. Most Community hubs were attended by two consultants from an Education Charity. This charity offers our community one to one consultations. They are an excellent resource for our referral services helping us find the right support for guests, education and work needs. We partnered with another Charity to offer a workshop on CV and Cover Letter writing. Many refugees have been empowered to find employment and our ambassadors help mentor others to help our service-users thrive within the community.
