Royal High School, Bath
30 Sept 2026
Volunteer your time to bring love and laughter to Ukrainian children this festive season.
The Friends of Oleksandriya, together with the Plant & Hire Aid Alliance, are hosting their annual Wrapathon on Saturday 28th November 2026 from 8AM-5PM at the Royal High School Bath on Lansdown Hill.
Since 2024, each November we have collected and sent Christmas gifts to Ukrainian children who are struggling due to the ongoing war. Last, year at the Wrapathon held at Bath City Football Club, 150 wonderful volunteers wrapped around 3,000 presents for Ukrainian children over the span of 8 hours.
Together with a companion Wrapathon in Ipswich, the combined effort resulted in an impressive 7,400 wrapped presents. Two lorries carrying all the gifts departed for Ukraine on 8th December and the Rotary Club network distributed them to children in the most affected communities including 1,000 presents for internally displaced children in Oleksandriya and children from the occupied village of Vesele currently living in Zaporizhzhia.
This year we again ask for your help. We need your hands and generous hearts! Donate gifts, money for transportation, or come ready to wrap, pack, and prepare gifts for shipping.
If you would like to donate presents, wrap them at home and make sure to clearly label them with the contents, gender, and age range. Then, bring them on the day or contact us for a drop-off location.
