2024-2025 Programs
During the 2024–25 financial year, Ukraine Support Fund Limited advanced its mission by delivering critical, Ukrainian-made external bone fixation devices and other medical aid directly to Ukrainian frontline hospitals in Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Zaporizhia, helping save lives and limbs while supporting local orthopaedic device manufacturing.
The charity also provided targeted humanitarian assistance through donations in kind and sustained community fundraising initiatives, ensuring that funds raised were applied directly to alleviating suffering and distress caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Through these activities, USF continued to deliver practical, accountable and high impact benevolent relief to Ukrainians most affected by the war.
