For its implementation, the community received a grant in the amount of 100 thousand UAH from the MHP-Hromada charitable foundation. the same amount was allocated from the local budget on the terms of co-financing.
The space was equipped on the basis of the KZ "Center for providing social services" of the Leskovsky village council in the premises of the headman of the village of Khudyaki.
according to the director of the Center Zoya PiS'ennaya, not only veterans and their families, internally displaced persons, but also all residents of the community in need can apply to the Veterans ' Hub. After all, as part of the project, walkers, canes, and crutches were purchased for the rehabilitation of people with limited mobility.
rehabilitation funds will be issued to residents of the community free of charge. Also, on the basis of the hub, a rental point for technical and other rehabilitation equipment was set up.
"I would like there to be no need in the veterans' space, so that the war ends, and the military returns alive and well. But we understand that questions and problems related to the adaptation of the military will arise. Communities should already work to create spaces that will become a real place of help and support that veterans need," says Nikolai Efremtsev, a representative of MHP - Hromada.
