PARTNERSHIPS & ADVOCACY

We’ve utilised our collaborative working model and cross-border partnerships to connect our Ukrainian partners with colleagues in international NGOs to provide the support and training they need to scale up their operations.

Alongside this work on the ground, we continue to offer advocacy and remote support for those with particularly complex needs, including visa casework for families who have been failed by the complex bureaucracy of the UK’s Homes for Ukraine scheme. 

HOW we work

Legacy of War Foundation campaigns for a world without war, and supports the survivors and communities affected by it. Our founder and CEO, Giles Duley, has a long history of working in Ukraine and has been documenting the conflict in Donbass since 2015.

When the invasion began, we immediately reached out to our partner organisations on the ground. We have a track record of working alongside grassroots organisations who are experienced in providing vital support to their communities, and strive to work in solidarity and collaboration with partners on the ground.  We ensure organisations with local experience can continue delivering crucial aid to those who need it the most - while we focus on coordinating funding, vetting partnerships, sourcing and purchasing specialist supplies, and bringing together partners to facilitate their work. Our ten guiding principles - designed in conjunction with our patrons, partners, trustees and staff - underpin all our work.

So far, we’ve delivered over £350000 of aid and donations weighing over 26t (more than four elephants!) to our partners in Ukraine - including fully-equipped ambulances, specialist medical equipment and medications, and wheelchairs and other mobility aids.

How you can help

We’re funding generators, emergency vehicles, shelters,and disability hubs to coordinate mobility aids and other vital equipment - but we know more is needed. Your donations will help to create real change for marginalised communities: not only while the war is ongoing but long into the future.

• Donate to help us supply additional generators, heaters and 4x4 evacuation vehicles.

• Check our dedicated Ukraine resources where you can find information and other resources to help.

• Join us in our demand for No More War! Buy one of our sustainably produced t-shirts, featuring our No More War stencils and a design from the legendary Jamie Reid - who designed the Sex Pistols album covers - to support our work with survivors of conflict in Ukraine and around the globe.

• Collaborate with us: We believe that as global citizens, we all have the power to help bring this appalling violation of international law to a swift end. If you can speak or write in Ukrainian, or have social media and marketing skills, you could help us and our partners on the ground: contact us.

About Legacy of War Foundation (UA)

Фонд «Legacy of War/Спадщина війни» — міжнародна благодійна організація, що надає підтримку цивільним особам, які постраждали внаслідок збройного комфлікту. Наша місія проста – допомогти людям і громадам відновити своє життя після травми війни. Ми віримо в надання інструментів, навчання, освіти та іншої підтримки – будь то фізична, психологічна чи економічна – яка дає змогу тим, з ким ми працюємо, формувати своє власне майбутнє.

Ми заснували Фонд «Legacy of War/Спадщина війни», тому що хотіли робити речі по-іншому, кинути виклик традиційним неоколоніальним концепціям у секторі допомоги та розробити модель, якою керують наші бенефіціари (а краше сказати «партнери»). З 2017 року ми зібрали понад 600 000 фунтів стерлінгів на підтримку громад, що постраждали від збройного конфлікту.
