Airns and Objertlves

nearby villages in the South Buckinghèmshire Chilterns area. by the provision of practical and
financial assistance, advice and SUPF)orL
The provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation with the object of
improvin8 the conditions of life of those persons who are Ukrainian refugees in this country
under the Homes for Ukraine scheme.
Review of achlevements
Our area represents the second largest group of sponsors and their Ukrainian guests in
Buckinghamshire. As the war in Ukraine entered its second year, one of the major issues facing the
charity was that of finding alternative accommodation for familie5 who need to move elsewhere after
their initial hosting period came to an end. A lack of available rental properties combined with the
long waiting list ft)r social housing continues to make this a significant thallen8e. We have worked
hard to either re-match our guests with new hosts or to SUPPOrt guests to greater financial and
personal independence.
Welfare
The charity has worked with the community to cO￿rdinate the provision of welfare
Education.. Many of our local Schools have taken Ukrainian children into their classrooms and are
providing English language support and a solid education to these young people. The children are
rising to the challenges that leaminE in a new language pose5 for them and their English continue5 to
improving immeasurably.
Clothing.. The Clothes Barn, run by a team of volunteers, continues to be a terrific success. The barn,
use of which is generou51y donated free of charge, provides a space for donated and new items of
clothing to be collected, tried on and distrlbuted among Ukrainian fami5ies.
Summer holiduys.. For a second year. The Beacon School. along with Super Camps provided 30 of our
Ukrainian children from ages 5-12 with tmo weeks of activities and fun in the 2023 summer holidays.
The children enjoyed swimmin& water fights. play and nature walks. while allowing their parents to
continue to work. Ukraine to Chilterns have presented a commemorative artsvork to the school,
acknowledging their outstsnding support of Ukrainian child refvgees.
The Mothers Union Sponsored an amazing day of'Go Ape, fvn at Wendover Woods in which over IS
families took part. A day trip to CINeden was also well attended. Motts coaches generously supplied

transport and Cliveden offered a chance for the guests to see a fascinating part of English heritage, as
well as an opportunity to take the views of the beautiful Thames Valley and surroundin8 Chiltern
Vigil: On the 24th of February. the charity marked the second year of war in Ukraine with a memorial
service at St Marfs Church, Princes Risborough. It was truly heartwamiing to welcome over 200 local
people and Ukrainian guests to the service and, later. to a 'bring and share. reception at St Mary's
Church H311. The mood was sombre. as one would expert, but the servlce was beautrful all the same.
A welcome was offered by Reverend Canon, David Williams and Andy Ball, Town Mayorand Councillor,
spoke, offering words of support from the town community. Prayers of Peace and Hope were offered
by Reverend Canon. Tony Bundock and, after a minute's silence. the Ukrainian Guests sang their
National Anthem. One of our Ukrainian guests 8ave a generous speech of thanks and highlighted the
guests sincere gratitude to the British community here. in providing a sanctuary and welcoming our
guests with kindness and love.
Financial Support
Financial support has been offered by the award of Independence grants either to support Ukrainians
in moving into and fvrnishing independent accommodation or in seeking to establish their own
businesses. Assistance has a150 been awarded to allow Ukrainian children to pursue interests such as
drama classes and theatre trips.

with the comparative amounts representing the period from the date of re815tration to the Charity's
first financial year end. 31 March 2023. Amounts transferred in from activities prior to incorporation

The overall result for the period was a surplus on the general fund of £4.952. Income was achieved
through a combination of grants. donations and fundraising and we are immensely gratefLEI to all who
have supported us. Significant fundraising events included a golf day, a barn dance and an art
exhibition and auction.
We have forged strong links with many of the local community groups and are especially grateful to

Numerous donations from individuals and groups have been re￿ived. In addition. a donation of
£1,160 was made to cover a shortfall in rental expenditu￿ for one Ukrainian family and this amount
is accordingly restricted to those rental payments.
