Hospitallers Ukraine Aid

What Hospitallers Ukraine Aid does

Hospitallers Ukraine Aid is a UK-registered charity (Charity Commission No. 1200534, headquartered in London) founded in 2022 to serve as the UK and Republic of Ireland fundraising and logistics arm of the Ukrainian Hospitallers Medical Battalion, a non-state volunteer paramedic organization established in 2014 by commander Yana Zinkevych. Its core activity is converting donations into medical equipment, ambulances, pickup trucks, and supplies that are delivered via weekly volunteer convoys directly to Ukrainian volunteer paramedics, with the organization stating that 100% of funds (excluding drugs) are spent on emergency aid products delivered within 72 hours and no third-party intermediaries are used.

The operational footprint spans Pavlohrad (historical main base, destroyed by Shahed drone strike in April 2025), London (UK headquarters), Republic of Ireland (coordinator Oleksiy Podoprihora), and training academies in Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Dnipro. Beyond medical aid, the charity operates two sub-brands — Hospitails (mobile veterinary hospital, evacuation bus, field sterilization and vaccination) and Shelter of Kindness (animal shelter with adoption services) — plus a paid training program in Basic Life Support, Stop the Bleed, and Trauma First Aid. Headcount is 1-10 in the UK entity, supported by 500+ active field volunteers and 80+ operational crews.

The revenue model is exclusively donation-driven, sourced through individual giving (PayPal, JustGiving, direct bank transfer), corporate and employee giving (Benevity platform covering Facebook, Google, Amazon, Spotify employees with employer matching), eBay for Charity listings, in-kind donations of vehicles and supplies, and large partnership donations from organizations such as Ukraine Charity and Paf. Distribution is direct-to-consumer to donors globally, with a published unit cost of £1,350 to fully equip one paramedic and active fundraising for an additional 5-6 ambulances and 50 pickup trucks/vans. No revenue or financial figures are publicly disclosed.
