We had made a donation earlier in the year and on 1 October some of our members had the privilege of attending a zoom meeting with Soroptimist International Krakow to find out how they have been supporting refugees from Ukraine. Karina Mostowik, President of Soroptimist Poland welcomed everyone from around the world (Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, France, Italy, UK but to name a few) to the meeting.\u00a0 She told us that 6.5 million refugees had come to Poland.\u00a0 Of the 3m plus that had stayed, 50% were children and young people up to 18 and of the adults 95% were women of which 10% were older women.\u00a0 Anna WSZELACZY\u0143SKA, Soroptimist Krakow updated the meeting on the 2 main projects they undertook with the help of all the donations to support these refugees.\u00a0 \u00a0They set up two main projects to support the refugees as they arrived.\u00a0 This included feeding, clothing and providing advice, support and housing on their arrival.\u00a0 Taking food packages down to the train and bus station and helping to get them medical support and advice.\u00a0 The other project concentrated on providing educational, medical and psychological support.\u00a0 They set up language lessons for the adults and children, got them drawing and playing and got them to take part in a play.\u00a0 They linked up with a charity to give support to the pregnant mothers, which included birthing classes, breastfeeding classes, psychological support and workshops.\u00a0 Anna WSZELACZY\u0143SKA, Soroptimist Krakow, thanked all donors.\u00a0 But she told us that this is a long term issue.\u00a0 Just recently they received a letter from a Hospital in the Ukraine asking for medical supplies.\u00a0 And the people they have here need long term support, to acclimatise to a new culture and get support to be able to get jobs and a home.\u00a0 If people can still donate they will be able to continue their work.<\/p>\n<p>We were also very lucky to be invited, as a result of appearing on the Friday Charity Chat show with Thia on Stony Radio, to meet the Ukrainian families living here in Milton Keynes and heard some of their stories and the work they are doing through the Ukraine Appeal Charity to help other Ukraine refugees here and back home.\u00a0 As a result of this meeting we were able to donate 5 sacks of winter clothing to the families.\u00a0 The Ukrainian Appeal charity are looking for donations to help provide emergency relief including medical supplies and assistance, provision of clean water, shelter and food and other necessary items.\u00a0 The charity also support internally displaced persons, host communities and refugees in neighbouring countries.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/ukraineappeal.org.uk\/\"><strong>Click here<\/strong><\/a> to view their website and learn more about what the charity is doing to support the Ukraine crisis.<\/p>\n<p>But we wanted to help out more and so the Music event on 8 October provided us with the means to raise more vital funds for both these much needed issues.\u00a0 We invited some of theUkrainian mums\u00a0 and their children\u00a0 and held a raffle and also auctioned a quilt.\u00a0 We must thank the couple who made a very generous offer for the quilt we auctioned on the night.\u00a0 As a result. we raised\u00a0\u00a3600 which wil be split between Soroptimist International Krakow and their work with Ukraine refugees in Poland, the Ukrainian families living here in Milton Keynes and the Winter Night Shelter.\u00a0 Thank you everyone who came and helped raise these funds.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In 2021 we held our first Music event with the help of one of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":638,"featured_media":5595,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[255,342,337,301,245,75],"class_list":["post-5593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-helping-the-homeless","tag-soroptimist-international-krakow","tag-ukraine-appeal-charity","tag-ukraine-crisis","tag-winter-night-shelter-mk","tag-young-homeless-people"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Music Event 2022 | News | Blog | Events | SI Milton Keynes<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Milton Keynes : Blog &amp; News : Music Event 2022 : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Milton Keynes .
