Refugees Coming to the Findhorn Community

13 April 2022 Leave a Comment

Findhorn Community Refugee Action Forum is delighted to be working with Ecologia to accept donations for the refugees now beginning to arrive from Ukraine.

 

The first woman arrived on Sunday 17th April 2022, and a family with three young boys is also expected to arrive soon.

With more Ukrainian families needing a safe place to live, the Refugee Action Forum has now brought Joanie’s bungalow in the Findhorn Ecovillage up to code so it can be used to provide a home for two Ukrainian women with young children.

We are looking to raise £5,000 for the bungalow and refugee support. The funds will help fix, furnish and decorate the bungalow.

We are seeking donations, both monetarily and in help with cleaning, carpentry, painting and gardening in preparation for the families arriving. Please contact Gail Shaw ([email protected]) to volunteer your skills.

Every penny that we can raise to support our Ukrainian friends is so vitally important to giving them a place that they can feel safe and welcomed in.

You Can Help by Donating Money:
Online at www.ecologia.org.uk/donate

Simply tick ‘I would like this donation to go to a specific fund’ and select ‘Findhorn Community Refugee Support’

If you are a UK Taxpayer please let us know so we can claim 25% of your donation as Gift Aid and make your donation go even further!

Thank you everyone for your donations.

Ecologia Youth Trust will retain 10% of all donations to help cover the cost of their time managing donations and promoting the project. 

Our fundraising so far…

On Friday 3rd June 2022, we supported the ‘Opening Our Hearts To Peace’ fundraising concert at Kinloss Church were a handful of incredible performers offered song, dance and humour where we were able to raised over £1,000!

On 26th June, we supported the “Hearts Around Ukraine’ Benefit Concert at the Universal Hall in Findhorn.
We’ve still some donations trickling in, but have raised in the region of £5,000 so far!
For those who missed it, we have some good news – You can now view the whole thing on Youtube! So grab your popcorn and don’t forget to donate.
