OUR HISTORY

​Ukraine Charity was established in 2007 in London in order to raise funds for various charitable causes in Ukraine. Our primary focus has been on helping orphans and underprivileged children and young adults in Ukraine. The charity operates on a volunteer basis without overhead costs and we make sure the funds you raise or contribute are all channelled to the desired beneficiaries in Ukraine and their utilization is controlled as tightly as possible. Ukraine Charity is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Ukraine Charity was founded by Oleksiy Soroka, Igor Hordiyevych and Ihor Okhrimenko. Over the years many talented and altruistic individuals from the Ukrainian community in London, and from around the world, have contributed to the success of the organisation. The current Trustees are Halyna Tatara, Igor Makar, Tanya Klymenko, Dmytro Kuziak
, and Iryna Zeldes Le Broussois​, and we are always looking to grow our team further. You can learn more about our story by reading this brochure we created to celebrate our first 10 years.

Ukraine Charity is registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (Registration No. 1163036).
