About Weybridge Friends of Ukraine
Weybridge Friends of Ukraine is a campaign to help local residents deal with the war. There has been an outpouring of grief and desire to help refugees and this initiative is meant to help local people to come together and do what is useful and necessary.
Briefly, our aims are to INFORM, DONATE, RALLY, WRITE, and REACH OUT with various events and initiatives for the Weybridge area.
In more detail, our goals are to:
1. Inform – advising residents and getting them to inform themselves and others by using verified and credible news sources
2. Donate – getting residents to donate to where help is most needed, giving what is asked for by charities and media to help support independent reporting
3. Rally – organising events locally to promote efforts to bring war to an end and to support those who need an outlet for their grief and desire to help
4. Write – continuing letter-writing campaigns to those in a position to influence UK policy by providing templates, links and updates on the issues
5. Reach out – staying connected, building our community in Weybridge and supporting our local businesses that are helping. For example, Weybridge Books, is setting up a special table and has a list of books to read about every aspect of this crisis. In addition, with Weybridge in Bloom, we have announced a PLANT FOR PEACE initiative to plant sunflowers seeds around the area.
