In 2023, efforts to mobilise humanitarian supplies for Ukrainian refugees continued, co-ordinated by Düsseldorf IP Partner, Benjamin Grzimek, and Joanne Gausden, Office Account Supervisor in the London Finance Department.
We have prioritised support for crisis centres, appeals from people on the ground, and responses to disasters such as the Kakhovka dam destruction. Donations have been collected from Fieldfisher offices in Amsterdam, Brussels, Düsseldorf, London and Manchester.
In response to appeals for more adult clothing and English children's books, we earmarked donations for Ukraine from our One Firm Action pre-loved clothing and book sales.
We also funded industrial equipment to replace irreparable kitchenware for a 500-person refugee centre, access to IT equipment, and distribution of basic and hygiene essentials and humanitarian aid.
