In the charity's own words
The BEARR Trust is a UK-based organisation set up to help children and other vulnerable and disadvantaged groups in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. We believe the best way to do this is to help small civil society organisations (CSOs) working in health and social welfare in the region to build knowledge, know-how, skills and contacts, including with those doing similar work in the UK.
