For partners and grant makers

Let's open the first care space together

NGO Ridni Poruch (“Family Nearby”) is building a network of free care and active-ageing spaces for people aged 60+ in Ukraine. The first one, “Ridni Poruch • Shevchenkivskyi”, opens in Kyiv; the model is designed to scale to other districts and cities.

Inside the space

• Psychological support: groups with a psychologist, art therapy, peer support.
• Digital skills: smartphones, government apps, online doctor booking, banking, scam protection.
• Community: lectures, workshops, book and board-game clubs.
• Care: free hairdresser, clothing repair, a corner of essentials and hygiene products.
• Movement: gentle exercise and adapted yoga.

What we need

• Premises of 150–300 m² on the ground floor with a separate entrance in Kyiv's Shevchenkivskyi district.
• Opening budget — UAH 1,916,000: renovation and step-free access, furniture, a computer class, sewing and hairdressing areas.
• In-kind and pro bono support: laptops and tablets, furniture, renovation, legal and accounting help.
• Ongoing support for one programme — psychologist, digital courses or the care area.

What partners receive

• Monthly reports on spending and results.
• Recognition on the website, social media and in the space (optional).
• A confirmation letter for your accounting.
• A role in building a model that can scale across Ukraine.
