Who are we?
Helping Heart (North Yorkshire) is a Northallerton-based small registered charity currently working with Ukrainian people who have had to flee their own country to safety and are rebuilding their lives in North Yorkshire and the host families providing a home for them.
Our charity offers a range of support depending on the needs of the individuals and at different stages of their journey. We aim to ensure Ukrainian families are welcomed when arriving in the UK, that they are able to access the right practical help at the right time to help them settle into their new community.
Welcome boxes and a Vodafone SIM card are provided on arrival. Our regular meet ups through our community cafe and other social events mean that Ukrainian families and sponsors can meet and make new friends as well as receive practical guidance completing documents such as job applications, access to English lessons to learn or improve their language skills, wellbeing sessions, access to a clothes and baby bank and toy swap plus other practical assistance, e.g. the provision of school uniform, driving lessons and household items/necessities.
Working in collaboration with various teams from North Yorkshire County Council, Homes for Ukraine, Citizens Advice, Rotary and local community groups, we provide ongoing support to Ukrainians in finding jobs and accommodation as well as adapting to everyday life in the UK. We also help our Ukrainian families moving on from sponsors into their own homes and we are able to provide extensive 'umbrella' support to ensure families have everything they need in their independent living.
We also organise evening meet-ups at different locations as well as a variety of social events for Ukrainians and sponsor families including regular bowling evenings, trips to the Ukrainian National Opera and National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine performances and group day trips to local places of interest. See our events page for more information.
