UAID joins BOA Join In!
Together with the wonderful Ukrainian community in Bradford-on-Avon, .intl volunteers joined more than 30 local organisations today to celebrate the life of various community groups in the region.

Our volunteers showcased themselves to the community and shared information about UAID’s charitable projects.

As you can see there were delicious treats and warm and welcoming atmosphere around the Ukrainian stalls.

And as usual - the highlight of the Ukrainian stalls was a collection of artworks - mini sculptures which were in essence the fragments of the russian missiles painted over by a Ukrainian artist from Ivano-Frankivsk Tetiana Frei - a symbol of resilience and victory of beauty and good over evil.

Thank you everyone - and especially our top volunteer - so much for your continued support!

All funds raised will be used in aid of communities and hospitals affected by the war in Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Сьогодні я вже не можу виконувати бойові завдання. Після багатьох років служби мені діагностували двобічний асептичний некроз головок кульшових суглобів. Кожен рух супроводжується пекельним болем, а те, що раніше було звичним, тепер стало серйозним випробуванням…» – ділиться Сергій.

A Charity Concert for Ukraine's Medical Aid - MONDAY 13 JULY
We're launching a new CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN.
THE AIM OF THIS CAMPAIGN
We are raising funds to support medical aid in Ukraine through a special charitable reception and concert at St John's Waterloo Church in London featuring internationally acclaimed Ukrainian pianist and composer Vadim Neselovskyi together with the Ysaÿe Trio

Created as an act of cultural solidarity with Ukraine during wartime, this unique evening will combine extraordinary music with meaningful humanitarian impact.

This campaign supports the essential logistical costs required to stage the charity concert which will be used to raise funds for urgently needed medical aid in Ukraine. It's run on behalf of UAID International, a UK-based charitable not-for-profit organisation supporting humanitarian and medical aid initiatives in Ukraine.

The concert itself will then generate substantially greater support: all proceeds from the concert's ticket sales will go directly towards UAID’s fundraising efforts for "M Corporation", a charity foundation in Odesa, supporting urgently needed medical supplies and equipment in Ukraine.

ABOUT THE MUSICIANS
Vadim Neselovskyi is one of the most celebrated Ukrainian jazz and contemporary musicians of his generation. An Associate Professor at Berklee College of Music (USA), he has performed at major festivals and concert halls across Europe and internationally. His music combines extraordinary virtuosity with profound emotional and cultural storytelling.

His recent work, Perseverantia, created in response to the experience of war in Ukraine, has been widely praised for its emotional depth, humanity, and artistic courage. The music reflects resilience, grief, memory, and hope — offering audiences a deeply moving artistic response to the realities of war.

This London performance of Perseverantia will be more than a concert. It will be an evening of solidarity, reflection and support for the people of Ukraine during an extraordinarily difficult time.

BREAKDOWN OF COSTS
Every contribution, no matter the size, will help bring this important event to life and support vital humanitarian aid efforts in Ukraine.

The fundraising target covers the essential production and logistical costs required to organise the charitable concert.

All musicians are participating voluntarily and performing without a fee. Any surplus funds raised beyond the essential event costs will be directed towards medical aid in Ukraine.

Estimated Project Costs

* International travel for 4 musicians: approximately £800–1,000

* Accommodation in London (2 nights for 4 musicians): approximately £800–1,000

* Local hospitality and subsistence costs (3 days, 4 people): approximately £600

* Additional venue hire and rehearsal costs: approximately £250

* Piano tuning for the performance: approximately £125

These costs make possible a significant charitable cultural event expected to generate substantially greater support for medical aid in Ukraine through ticket sales, donations and wider public engagement.

NO DONATION IS SMALL.

Thank you for your support!

Iʼm raising money to support a health/medical cause. Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.

The second half of the concert was performed without stage lighting, in solidarity with the people of Ukraine ✊🏼🇺🇦 & in the spirit of the jazz community 🎷😎. In that unexpected darkness came some of the evening’s most moving moments - audience members lifting their phone lights to illuminate the stage, creating an atmosphere of intimacy, kindness & togetherness we will never forget.

We were also touched by the generosity shown during the raffle, with prize winners exchanging & gifting prizes to one another. Small gestures that said so much about the spirit of the evening.
