Refugees Welcome: The Independent launches campaign to help Ukraine's refugees

The Independent is calling for authorities across the west to respond to a clear and present danger to life and public health – to do whatever it takes to save lives and protect families.

We say: Refugees Welcome.

We have started a petition with change.org to call on the UK government to be at the forefront of the international community offering aid and support to a nation in need.

We have also started a fundraiser in partnership with gofundme.org.uk to raise money for the thousands of men, women and children who are fleeing the fighting in Ukraine.
