Bookmark Boxes for Ukraine

For children arriving from Ukraine

We supported refugee children from Ukraine with resources to support their new start in the UK.

In April, we launched the Bookmark Box for Ukraine. The boxes were designed to help thousands of children to feel welcome and to have resources to engage their imaginations at a time when they may have left everything behind.

Each box included books in Ukrainian and English, as well as resources, games and storytelling aids to encourage therapeutic play and support wellbeing, and a SIM card to help the children and their families keep in touch with loved ones.
