Vadym Keller

We are deeply grateful to Vadym Keller, an esteemed international leader in the arts and culture sector, for his unwavering and dedicated support of our initiatives for Ukrainian children. Vadym's involvement has been crucial in the success of several key projects, including the Sounds of Peace initiative and the Sunday Art Club activities for displaced children. His contributions have enabled us to create meaningful events that not only bring joy and creativity to talented young individuals but also foster a strong sense of community for those who have faced significant adversity. Vadym’s support has been vital in helping us realise our vision of a more connected and culturally enriched community. His generosity and commitment have not only empowered us to develop impactful projects but have also made a lasting difference in the lives of those we serve. 

Yaroslav Oliinyk

We are profoundly grateful to Yaroslav Oliinyk, a virtuoso pianist and composer, whose generous contribution of his time and talent played an instrumental role in the success of our Sounds of Peace project. Yaroslav’s captivating performance at our fundraising event in Northchurch not only drew attention to the power of music in fostering peace and unity but also made a tangible difference in the lives of displaced Ukrainian children and young people. His dedication allowed us to raise vital funds that will support these young individuals in accessing the arts, providing them with meaningful cultural experiences that inspire creativity, personal growth, and healing in a safe and nurturing environment. We are honoured to have such a dedicated partner in our mission to support displaced individuals through the transformative power of the arts and culture.

Berkhamsted Town Council

Our sincere thanks go to Berkhamsted Town Council for their generous grant towards the Sounds of Peace Music project. This event was a key part of our series of music concerts, celebrating the power of music to bridge cultural divides and promote peacebuilding. Their support has been crucial in enabling us to continue our mission of bringing people together through the universal language of music.

Northchurch Parish Council

We are also deeply appreciative of Northchurch Parish Council for their financial support of the Sounds of Peace Music project. Their contribution helped us create a series of concerts that not only showcased musical excellence but also highlighted the importance of cultural understanding and unity in our community.

Vladyslav Demianov

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Vladyslav Demianov, an exceptionally talented bassoonist with a wealth of experience in organising and performing at fundraising events. His dedication and hard work were key to the success of the Concert for a Better Future, an afternoon filled with inspiring performances and a profound sense of hope. Vladyslav’s leadership and passion brought together remarkable musicians from both Ukraine and the UK, creating an unforgettable event that not only showcased extraordinary talent but also underscored the unifying power of music.

This concert was a true celebration of cultural exchange and solidarity, demonstrating how music can transcend borders, language, and backgrounds to foster connection and understanding. We are deeply grateful for his ongoing support and commitment to our cause, as he continues to be a vital partner in using the arts to build bridges and strengthen communities.

St. Mary’s Church, Northchurch

We are deeply grateful to St. Mary’s Church, Northchurch, for their generous support of our ESOL and Creative Activities for Children in Northchurch project, which ran from October 2022 to March 2023. Thanks to their provision of a warm and welcoming space in the Parish Rooms, Ukrainian children were able to learn English and take part in creative activities in a safe and nurturing environment. Through collaborative art projects, the children not only developed their English vocabulary but also built connections and gained a sense of belonging within the community. This project would not have been possible without the invaluable support of St. Mary’s, and we are truly thankful for their partnership.

Be a part of our growing community and experience the magic of art, music, and education.

Together, we can create a brighter future for all.
