2022 Brand Fresh are supporting the UKRAINE HUMANITARIAN APPEAL and the British Red Cross.
Ukraine is in crisis – please donate
It’s a tense, dangerous, and distressing time. Ongoing violence is causing people to flee their homes and become separated from their families. In some areas, water, electricity, and phone connectivity have been affected. Many people are taking cover from the shelling in basements and bomb shelters, but are going without the most basic supplies, like food and water.
We must act now to protect people caught up in this crisis, in Ukraine and its bordering countries.

What is the DEC?
We’re part of the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), which unites 15 member charities who are experts in humanitarian aid and specialists in different areas of disaster response. The DEC launches appeals during times of monumental suffering, which is the case in Ukraine right now. Please donate to this vital appeal and help us reach families and communities in Ukraine and the border countries.

What is the Red Cross doing to help Ukrainian people now?
So far, Red Cross teams in Ukraine have distributed over 30,000 food and hygiene parcels and provided food, warm clothes, and other aid to around 8,000 people sheltering in metro stations.
First aid training has also been delivered to over 2,000 people taking cover in metro stations and bomb shelters, so they have the skills to treat their loved ones if needed.
