Friends raise funds for Ukraine
‘Money is definitely still needed as governments and grant-donating bodies, who have done a huge amount to help refugees, for example in Poland and the Czech Republic, are now putting more restrictions on their funding and on how it can be spent.’
A Quaker funding group set up after Ukraine was invaded has donated more than €24,000 in just over two years. The Central European Yearly Meeting Funding for Ukraine Group (FUG) has given to twenty non-governmental groups in eight countries in the central European region, with amounts ranging from €200 to €1,500.
