The Gifts in Kind programme ships humanitarian aid from the UK direct to needy individuals and communities in Eastern Europe and Former Soviet Union.
Whether it is new or 'as good as new', each individual donation contributes to making a real difference to people who face having to choose between buying food, clothing and medicine. Their small incomes cannot stretch to providing for even their most basic needs.
Support through the GiK programme saves people from these impossible decisions and gives them back their dignity.
Where are the goods sent?
We send your Gifts in Kind to Belarus, the Baltics (Latvia, Lithuania & Estonia), Moldova, Romania, Poland, Serbia and Ukraine.
