On the 23d, 24th and 25th February, join the many gatherings across East Sussex and beyond to support Ukraine and Ukrainians; this time will be the marker of 3 years since Ukraine and her citizens fight every day for Freedom and Peace in protecting their homeland from Russia’s full-scale invasion.
On 24th Feb ’22, the news of war in Ukraine hit the world, and every Ukrainian heart was broken. War entered every Ukrainian home, bringing feelings of loss, fear, anger, and most importantly willingness to fight for the future of all Ukrainian children but also for global democracy, safety and freedom.

To mark that memorable day, join us in solidarity to support your Ukrainian communities in East Sussex, to salute and commemorate the bravery of all Ukrainian heroes and the innocent civilians fallen victims of the war.
