Team behind Kyiv club ∄ launch Ukraine community fund

The Kyiv-based cultural institution ∄, which also runs the label Standard Deviation, has launched a project to provide urgent help for Ukraine’s creative community.

The ∄ team, who are currently displaced across Europe as a result of the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, have launched a community fund to offer urgent aid for people in, or fleeing from, Ukraine.

Speaking on the situation they said, “Today our team is all over Europe: some stayed in Kyiv, some are now in other cities in Ukraine, some have escaped abroad. Regardless of the distance between us, we all keep on working: some of our employees have joined the Territorial Defense Forces, some are volunteering in cities and some are helping from afar.”

Alongside the community fund, the team have also developed the ‘∄ Help’ Telegram bot – a resource that’s helping to evacuate people from Ukraine and abroad, as well as share information on financial support and shelter.

You can donate to the ∄ community fund here. We’ve also compiled a resource list of charities, fundraisers and organisations.
