About us.
We are volunteers working under Norfolk Polonia CIC organisation, which is supported local community and Eastern Europeans in Norfolk and Norwich City Council.
Initially started as a social media post requesting donations, we have grown with many volunteers and built a distribution network across all of Norwich. After some time, Norwich City Council lent us a warehouse area for sorting, packing and storing donations so they can be quickly located and sent when and where required. Since then, we have become an important support service for Ukrainian families across Norfolk.

Currently work.
Currently, we are focusing on Ukrainian refugees living in Norwich and Norfolk by organising community HUB every Friday, English lessons, legal support and mental help. We are doing many local Ukrainian projects such as the NSU Cycle Project or Coffee meetings across all of Norwich. We are officially cooperating with Norwich City Council.
Donations.
We have an excellent distribution network and refugee support teams in place, but at this moment, we do not collect any donations from private people. We cooperate with local shops and organisations supplying us with necessary articles donated to Ukrainian families across Norfolk.
Currently, we are looking for any donations about our support to cover fuel costs, renting, insurance and volunteer expenses.
Accomodation.
Are you considering offering a room, an annexe, a home or anywhere secure and safe for refugees now arriving in the UK?
With the UK Government now bringing on a scheme to help incentivise offering accommodation to refugees. More info you can find here: norfolk.gov.uk
If you have an unfurnished room, we are working with other organisations that will help furnish it. We will help with food donations, sanitary and hygiene products, clothing, bedding the list goes on. If you would like more information on what we can do for you by offering accommodation, or you are already hosting a refugee and think you could do with a little extra helping hand, feel free to contact us.
Cycle Project.
Every Friday from 10am to 2pm, we offer bike services and provide free bikes to anyone in need! We donate more than 50 bikes to Ukrainians who arrived in Norwich. Just visit us and start using this lovely way of transport.
If you want to donate any bikes - contact us. We are looking for volunteers who are happy to support the local community.
