About

Tassie for Ukraine is a community handmade project that aims to build community connections and raise money for Ukrainian causes.

All the money we raise goes to Defend Ukraine Appeal, a fund established by the Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations. The focus of this fund is supporting Ukrainian defenders with food, medical aid and technology. Most international organisations focus their support for Ukraine on humanitarian needs. We as a community believe it is also crucial to support Ukrainian defenders. Having a strong defence helps us prevent a lot of humanitarian consequences of the war in the first place. Many of us also have friends or relatives fighting on the frontline, the initiative is our way to send the love to people we care about.

We gather as a group to chat, knit, and inspire each other to create. Instead of stressing out because of the war on our own, we support each other, use knitting as a therapy and use our skills to create beautiful items that result in donations for the defender's needs.

We are hoping to expand and have more Tasmanians join our effort. Here is how you can help Tassie for Ukraine.
