WHERE WE WORK
Three years ago, when the war began, we, like many others, loaded a van with essential aid and drove across Europe to the Ukrainian border. As the conflict continued, we realised that while immediate relief was crucial, so was restoring a sense of normalcy—through sport.
What started as a single effort to provide sports equipment and pitches quickly grew into a collective mission. To many, it seemed unusual; to us, it was necessary. Sport isn’t just a game—it’s a lifeline, offering hope, community, and resilience in the face of crisis.
Suffering doesn’t begin when a war ends; it happens during, after, and for generations to come. That’s why we’re here—ensuring that even in the darkest times, there’s a place to play, heal, and rebuild.

At least 50,000 Ukrainians have reportedly lost limbs since Russia's invasion in 2022, including both soldiers and civilians.
However, unofficial estimates place the number closer to 100,000.
£170 BILLION INFRASTRUCTURE DESTROYED
Russia’s war on Ukraine has caused £170 billion in infrastructure damage. Over 500 sports facilities, including 77 football stadiums, have been partially or completely destroyed (Kyiv School of Economics, 2025).
