Manchester Metropolitan University’s arts and culture magazine aAh! is launching a new campaign to support people impacted by the war in Ukraine. #StudentsSupportUkraine will help students take action, coordinate fundraising events to support humanitarian aid, and raise awareness of misinformation and disinformation with a series of online and print features.

Ways to get involved

#StudentsSupportUkraine: 5K Challenge – Get active and raise money for Ukraine!

We are calling on all students (and friends) to join our #StudentsSupportUkraine 5K challenge. Walk, run or cycle 5K, donate £5 and tag 5 friends to do the same.

We want to raise £2,300 – the distance in km from Manchester to Kyiv – in cash donations to support Ukraine humanitarian aid charities.

Be sure to tag #StudentsSupportUkraine on social media, posting your efforts, your journey or your distance tracker.

Put on some trainers and go out there to make a difference!

Donations will go to CARE International who are providing emergency relief in Ukraine and neighbouring countries through their partner People in Need.

For more information about CARE International visit careinternational.org.uk.
