Ukraine
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, we immediately reached out to the St Panteleimon Charitable Fund which supports hospices in Western Ukraine, to offer our help and support.
Most hospices in Ukraine receive funding from the State for the salaries of medical staff and a contribution towards utilities and drugs. However, due to the war, their funding has been reduced and does not cover many of the essential items that are needed to run the hospices.

Our Current Support:
In August 2O22, we signed a formal partnership with the St Panteleymon Charity Fund and, thanks to a donation from a donor company, we have been able to appoint our first Ukraine country manager. With this new addition to the hospice team, our partners in Ukraine have been able to sustain and develop the care they provide, and help to grow the palliative care movement in Ukraine.
In 2024 we partnered with CF Svoyi in Kyiv who run a mobile team and provide home visits to patients in need. They are a foundation and receive no funding from the government.
There are only 25 palliative care beds in Kyiv and it is difficult to access specialist care. We aim to help them set up a new clinic to benefit more people in need.
