Our Mission

Visual Arts and Aid Relief in Support of the Ukrainian People

Postcode Ukraine’s mission is to help Ukraine recover from the war and build a new and better future.  Our unique approach is to combine urgent local aid relief with our artist co-founder Mark Neville’s film and photographic practice. Our aim is to create a permanent record of these troubled times, lift the morale of the Ukrainian people and issue a global call to action.


As a Kyiv-based charity of charities, Postcode Ukraine provides grant funding where it is most needed; to grassroots humanitarian aid charities and volunteer groups embedded in local communities. Transparency and sound governance are essential elements of our mission. Since 2022, Postcode Ukraine has directly funded over $500,000 in such aid projects.

Alongside its charitable efforts, Neville continues to create new artworks including photo-books and films documenting Ukrainian life under the stresses of war, deprivation and personal loss. Neville often makes these works synchronously with the charity’s aid trips to the growing number of frontline towns deeply affected by the war.

At this critical time, Postcode Ukraine hopes its latest art project, Diary of a Volunteer, will ensure that ordinary Ukrainian voices are heard by international media, cultural institutions, governments and supporters.

About Us
Postcode Ukraine is led by artist Mark Neville who has made his home in Kyiv, Ukraine, and London-based co-director and cultural producer, Chrissy Jay. Postcode Ukraine’s team includes charity liaison manager Yuliia Kuznetsova, and accountant Valery Stepenna, both based in Kyiv. Postcode Ukraine was co-founded by Mark Neville, writer Tanya Longacheva and the Bollinger family.

Neville describes Postcode Ukraine’s founding-concept as follows: 

"What happens if we form a hybrid charity which fuses artistic documentary practice with the delivery of humanitarian aid? The creation of a photographic collage of resilience and hope – an inspiration to all who value the right of self-determination, dignity and peace.”
