The conflict and ongoing violence in Ukraine has
caused families to forcibly leave their homes, in search of safety, with many
arriving in the UK.
In response to this, following discussion with the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain, Barnardo’s has set up the Ukrainian Support Helpline to provide a holistic support service. The helpline is available to anyone fleeing the conflict in Ukraine.
Barnardo’s free helpline (0800 148 8586) is staffed by English, Ukrainian and Russian speakers, to offer support to children and families arriving in the UK from Ukraine.
The helpline is open Monday – Friday (10:00am – 8:00pm) and Saturday (10:00am – 3:00pm). Callers will be able to get help and advice on a range of issues.
A dedicated email address ukrainiansupport@barnardos.org.uk and webpage have been set up for those assisting with the Ukraine response.
