Ukraine Refugee Holiday Appeal
Raising for The Change Foundation
Over the past year, The Change Foundation has been running a series of Christmas, Easter and summer sports camps for Ukrainian refugee children now living in the UK.
This Christmas, Parkdean Resorts has generously donated 30 of their Welsh holiday homes to The Change Foundation so that we can host our 30th sports camp for Ukrainian children and their families. Everyone will experience four days of festive fun, food and games with support from Dizzie Lyn and HUGS4Ukraine.
It's going to be a weekend to remember… but we need your help. Please support us by donating to the travel costs of the families so that we can drive them from Sussex to Wales.
About the Ukraine Refugee Sports Project
In March 2022, The Change Foundation began running safe play zones for refugee children from Ukraine, giving parents or guardians time to organise the paperwork and other arrangements they need to move on as quickly and safely as possible.
At the same time, The Change Foundation began running a series of sports camps for recently arrived Ukrainian refugee children in to the UK. The camps have been an incredible success, giving the children something fun to look forward to, whilst enabling them to meet other Ukrainian children. The camps have also proved to be a great way for the children's mums to develop support groups amongst each other and to feel less isolated in their new home.

We exist to help young people find solutions to deal with these social issues through the power of sport.
