TOGETHER, RESTORING LIVES

We created a comprehensive peer-to-peer rehabilitation programme that enables service personnel,  medics, their families and abandoned animals, to rebuild their lives, strengthen their communities, and achieve their full potential.

HOPEFULL FUTURE

Mission: To help Ukraine lay the foundation for a long-term, community-based rehabilitation network that enables those most affected by war: service personnel, abandoned animals, healthcare workers, and their families, to recover and thrive together.

HopeFull Future is an innovative rehabilitation programme, developed in collaboration with Ukrainian partners and supported by Ukrainian authorities, to help service personnel, medics, and their families transition from war to civilian life. At the heart of this mission is the belief that veterans are not a problem to be solved but an opportunity to inspire and strengthen their communities.

Drawing on the proven model created by Simon Edwards for Help for Heroes, the programme offers a holistic approach to recovery, addressing physical, psychological, and moral injuries utilising a peer-led approach. Designed to adapt to diverse contexts, the programme provides a comprehensive framework around which international charities and local agencies can coordinate their services. By fostering a community-focused approach, HopeFull ensures veterans and their families receive the tailored care they need while realising their potential as contributors to a thriving, post-war Ukraine.

JOIN OUR EFFORT

Join us in rebuilding lives and futures—With a war-impacted population of approximately 37.9 million, the country had fewer than 4,000 mental health professionals pre-invasion, just 1 for every 9,500 people. Since 2022, that number has declined significantly due to displacement and infrastructure strain. At the same time, need has skyrocketed: nearly half of Ukrainians report mental health concerns, and millions are at risk of moderate to severe conditions. This severe gap between need and capacity makes traditional models of care insufficient. That’s why HopeFull’s scalable, peer-driven approach is so vital. By training local facilitators, supporting community-based interventions, and focusing on rehabilitation, HopeFull delivers critical support where the system can’t. Your support directly empowers sustainable mental health care in one of the world’s most underserved crisis zones, meeting urgent need with innovation, compassion, and impact.

Your donation will help to train and develop local people to provide rehabilitation for Ukraine's service personnel, medics and families, empowering them to heal, thrive, and contribute to a stronger, united nation.
