CITY have today launched an emergency appeal amid the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.

The club have teamed up with Bradford City Community Foundation, their official charity arm, and charity partner Human Relief Foundation to host a service aimed at aiding the people of Ukraine through emergency supplies and financial donations.

As part of the appeal, City have launched a JustGiving fundraiser, which first featured during Saturday’s game against Swindon and can be visited by CLICKING HERE.

All proceeds will be sent directly to HRF, specialists in emergency aid and appeal, who will use the money for the benefit of Ukraine.

The community foundation are also hosting two dedicated drop-off points – at the City Shop at Valley Parade and at the Bradford (Park Avenue) Horsfall Stadium - where supporters can donate emergency aid such as food, drink, clothing and medical supplies which will be shipped to Ukraine on behalf of Bradford City.

They will be open for donations during normal business hours and on each home matchday.

Oliver Denton, HRF marketing and communications manager, said: “We believe we can work together to highlight the humanitarian crisis which is growing in its intensity every day.

“As HRF is an established charity with over three decades of experience, we are able to help people on the ground who are in urgent need of our help.”

Adam Thirsk, of the Bradford City Community Foundation, added: “Following on from everything we have seen in the past couple of weeks in Ukraine and eastern Europe, we view it as our duty to do whatever we can to help.

“As a club and a foundation, we are in a great position to support both Ukraine and other areas of the world which are struggling and will do everything in our power to aid as many people as possible.

“We would like to take this opportunity to urge as many of you as possible to head over to the JustGiving page and donate.

“Also visit one of our drop-off points to help us send as much emergency aid over to Ukraine as possible. We stand with Ukraine.”
