Ukraine Appeal
In response to a General Assembly Resolution, the URC has launched an appeal in support of Ukrainian refugees and Internally Displaced Persons located to the west of Ukraine in Transcarpathia.
The URC Supporting our Church Partners in Ukraine
There is an interesting historical context to why it is right that URC supports our partner church in the western part of Ukraine (or Transcarpathia) and also our partner church in Hungary, who are faced with the work of supporting Ukrainians displaced by the war.
After the Second World War, much of the UK had suffered enormously because of the bombing raids. Communities belonging to the Reformed Church in Transcarpathia collected funds and sent them over to our antecedent Reformed churches that now make up the United Reformed Church. It was family looking after family.
It is only right, at this time of war in Ukraine, that the URC in turn helps out its family in Transcarpathia in western Ukraine and in Hungary. Thousands of refugees now live in that region as refugees and as Internally Displaced Persons.
The United Reformed Church wants to help. We have set up a donations appeal to support both the Reformed Churches in Transcarpathia and in Hungary. Both are helping refugees. You could help them by supporting this URC appeal (GoFundMe) on behalf of Ukrainian refugees.
