This report summarizes the activities carried out by Nordic SOS Ukraine during the period from October to December 2025.
During these months, our organization continued its voluntary humanitarian efforts in response to the ongoing war in Ukraine. The focus of our work was on collecting and delivering essential supplies, supporting transport and logistics and participating in fundraising initiatives. All activities described in this report were carried out on a voluntary basis and made possible through the support of donors, partners, and engaged community members.
During October and November 2025, Nordic SOS Ukraine continued its voluntary humanitarian work in support of civilians and frontline needs in Ukraine. Throughout this period, our activities focused on collecting essential supplies, supporting logistics and transport, participating in fundraising initiatives, and contributing to humanitarian needs. All our work is carried out on a voluntary basis, without salaries, and depends entirely on donations, partnerships, and community engagement.
On Saturday, 1 November 2025, Nordic SOS Ukraine participated in the charity event “Ukrainian Evening” aboard M/S Sandnes in Stavanger. The event was organized by Norsk Ukrainsk Støtteforening Trident, the Ukrainian Association in Rogaland, and Nattruten M/S Sandnes, and brought together more than 100 guests along with a large group of dedicated volunteers. The evening was marked by strong solidarity, community spirit, and meaningful cultural experiences. Guests were served a four-course Ukrainian dinner and heard powerful speeches from individuals closely connected to frontline humanitarian efforts, including Hans Hermansen. The program also featured moving musical performances by the Ukrainian vocal ensemble Mrija. A charity auction raised significant funds for humanitarian aid in Ukraine, with all proceeds directed toward aid efforts, particularly the urgent need to secure evacuation transport for the Rubizh Brigade.
Throughout October and November 2025, Nordic SOS Ukraine carried out extensive collection efforts for humanitarian supplies, including clothing, shoes, bedding, duvets, bandages, plasters, and other essential items. These efforts culminated in several deliveries in early December.
On Saturday, 6 December 2025, a fully loaded vehicle was delivered to Ukrainahjelpen v/ Klippen in Sandnes. The delivery included donated clothes, shoes, duvets, bedding, bandages, plasters, and other essential supplies. Ukrainahjelpen v/ Klippen ensures safe onward transport of all donated goods into Ukraine and their distribution to families in need.
In addition to donated goods, Nordic SOS Ukraine purchased 36 new warm blankets. These blankets are being sent to families facing a harsh winter with limited electricity and cold temperatures. At the same time, we also purchased 200 Christmas stockings filled with sweets for children in Ukraine. While small in size, these gifts are intended to create moments of joy and provide a sense of normality for children living under the constant strain of war.
On 4 December 2025, Nordic SOS Ukraine also received a valuable donation from Brodd Fotball Stavanger. The donation consisted of football kits and shoes, which will be sent to children in Ukraine. Such contributions are of great importance, both in meeting everyday needs and in providing joy, dignity, and a sense of normal childhood activities for children affected by the war.
Ukrainahjelpen v/ Klippen is responsible for the onward transport of all humanitarian aid, and this involves significant costs. Nordic SOS Ukraine therefore also contributes financially to help cover part of the transportation expenses, ensuring that the aid reaches those who need it most.
The year 2025 has once again shown that the war in Ukraine continues with undiminished intensity. Nordic SOS Ukraine remains committed to continuing its humanitarian work throughout 2026. All activities are carried out voluntarily and without compensation, and we are deeply grateful for all donations and support received during 2025.
We sincerely hope for continued support in the year ahead.
