The news from Ukraine continues to fill us with horror and concern, and it’s so important that we keep praying.
If you would like to give financially in response to this crisis then please consider the appeals of the Disaster Emergency Committee and Christian Aid. Links are below:

We’d also like to support the Cheshunt Branch of the Association of Ukranians in Great Britain who are providing resources to soldiers, families, children, doctors and volunteers in Ukraine.
