Street Child - One Year on Since the Invasion of Ukraine

One year ago, we engaged with our Corporate Charity Partner, Street Child, to support their Ukraine Crisis Appeal, following the devastating effects of the invasion of Ukraine.

Thomas Miller donated over £30,000 to Street Child’s appeal, and the charity has now released a report to highlight the effectiveness of their programmes in Ukraine over the past year, moving from having no presence in Europe to making a difference in the lives of more than 16,900 children and 3,200 adults with a focus on vital child protection, education support and emergency response. In fact, Street Child was one of the first international organisations to enter the de-occupied territory of Kyiv with initiatives such as rehabilitating learning premises, encouraging other community groups to do the same.

In the immediate future, Street Child will seek to reach more than 50,000 children with protection and education work, creating safe spaces for children to gather, learn and play over the course of the next year.

Street Child have told us that the backing of their tireless supporters, including Thomas Miller, enabled their rapid response in the first weeks and days of the war; and the effectiveness of their programmes since has garnered the trust of large institutional donors, securing some of Street Child’s largest projects for 2023.
