We know that people across our University community are deeply concerned about what is happening in Ukraine. Listed below are some of the ways that you can help and support Ukrainian people:
Refugee appeal
A Liverpool organisation set up by Polish people living in the city has collected large amounts of items donated by the local community, to be sent in aid convoys to Ukrainian refugees at the border with Poland. Merseyside Polish Association is now seeking volunteers to help sort and pack these items. Please check their Facebook page for updates.
