Community reminded of urgent need for continued support

Author: Anna DaviesPublished 21st Apr 2026

Donations to assist those affected by the war in Ukraine have decreased in Gloucester, as a local support worker calls on the community to continue their efforts in providing aid.

Laura from Gloucester Ukrainian Aid emphasises the ongoing need for supplies despite the decline in donations since the initial invasion in 2022.

The charity prepares online wish lists to simplify the donation process, enabling donors to choose essential items.

Gloucester Ukrainian Aid is committed to delivering these supplies directly to the Polish-Ukrainian border, ensuring assistance reaches those in desperate need.

Laura urges the public not only to support the charity but also to check in on their Ukrainian neighbours as the conflicts continue.

Her appeal is a reminder of the continued struggles faced by those impacted by the ongoing conflict and the importance of maintaining support.

As donations decrease, Laura's message remains clear: the need for community support is as pressing as ever.
