United Ukrainians WA was formed by a group of passionate Ukrainian Australians who felt the urgent need to rally together, to bring awareness, to raise funds, and to assist recently arrived Ukrainians, after the harrowing news that Russia had declared war on Ukraine.
In 2022, United Ukrainians WA had an entry in the Perth PrideFest Parade, made up of approx 40 individuals who banded together under the name ‘Ukrainian Refugees’, and consisted of recent arrivals, members of the established Ukrainian Community of Perth, and supporters. Their simple entry of Ukrainian and Pride flags, and a few simple banners landed them the ‘Crowd Favourite’ award. Their PFA Small Grant has been awarded to assist United Ukranians in their entry fee for the 2023 Perth PrideFest Parade.
