Security for children in war-torn Ukraine

SSK welcomes all squash clubs to strike a blow for the children of Ukraine What is happening in Ukraine is terrible. Several of SSK's members have connections to the war and even though we can not influence the situation from here, we feel that we want to do something. Now on Saturday, we are therefore running a charitable squash event at Gärdet's squash hall to raise money for SOS Children's Villages, which runs activities to create security for the children in Ukraine. Saturday the 5th of March Come now on Saturday at 11: 30-13: 45 and challenge SSK club members and squash players from other clubs in a squash match. Roslagen, Wasa, Enskede and you others. Hang on! We run a simple tournament with a handicap system so that it is fair. If you do not want to play a match, you can still participate, both on and off the court. Everyone can participate and thus contribute. Participants from all clubs are welcome, even players who are not affiliated with a club. Let us together dedicate a common thought to the people of Ukraine. Engage yourself and others On this page you can buy tickets and sign up, your family, friends or maybe your company. If you can not participate, it is possible to send in a contribution anyway. All funds raised go in full to SOS activities for children in Ukraine. Thank you Gärdets Squashhall! Big THANKS to Magnus, Christian and Erik at Gärdet's Squashhall who donate the entire track rent to SOS Children's Villages. Fantastic! Help us spread this invitation in your networks so that we can get as many as possible to the event. The need in Ukraine is now !!!

At the moment, SOS Children's Villages is working hard to evacuate children in residential institutions in risk zones and to relocate foster families. The need for help is enormous and we invite all employees to contribute. So if you want and can contribute – small or large – everything counts! 100 SEK = approx. 10 EUR _________________________________________________________ Hundreds of thousands of children are affected by the conflict in Ukraine Russia's invasion of Ukraine will have enormous consequences, especially for the children. SOS Children's Villages has been working in Ukraine since before the outbreak of the conflict in the eastern parts in 2014. In 2003, the family-strengthening program was started, and in 2010 the first children's village was opened in Brovary, in the Kyiv region. SOS Children's Villages started working in the Luhansk region in the eastern parts in 2012, and has supported children and families on both sides of the contact line since 2014. SOS Children's Villages works to ensure that children grow up in safety. They support children and families in crisis areas, strengthen families so that parents are not forced to give up their children - and provide family-like care for children who have lost their parents or for various reasons can not stay with their family. Together we can ensure that no child grows up alone. That they instead grow up with close relationships so that they can become their strongest selves. COLLAPSE
