It has also been a sad and shocking year.  

We have a war in Europe.  

 

Russia brutally attacked  

Ukraine 24th of February 2022.  

Too many people have 

lost their lives in this war.  

 

Millions of people have had  

to leave their homes. 

 

But more than 260.000 Ukrainians,  

people with intellectual disabilities 

had to stay back because of lack of support. 

 

Inclusion Europe campaign  

has been a success  

and we have been able  

to help by sending money  

to families in need.  

 

By now we have been  

able to raise around 650.000 euros.  

And our campaign is still on.  

 

Since the Russian attack,  

many Inclusion Europe’s members  

wanted to help Ukrainian people.  

 

Some started their own fundraising campaigns,  

others wanted to give material support  

or to help those leaving their country.  

 

Inclusion Europe members have proved  

that our common value solidarity, 

isn’t just a word on our website.   

 

Thank you all for your help.  

Thank you all for your solidarity  

towards Ukraine. 

Our work brings the voice of people with intellectual disabilities and their families where decisions about their future are made.

This has always been incredibly important. It is even more so with the Covid pandemic drastic impact on their rights and lives.

Being visible and vocal on issues directly affecting millions of people requires your support. 

Become Inclusion Europe supporter and help us keep doing our work.
