We have been so appreciative of all the material help provided by the wider community. Since November 2024, this has ensured that we could make 9 hour round trips to HMP Bronzefield, pay for Yulia's phone credit and allowance in prison, buy food for her on visits, ensure she had enough clothes...the list goes on.

Yulia is now on bail. The above costs no longer need to be covered. However, as she waits for the trial in June 2026, Yulia is dealing with the aftermath of 15 months in prison. The environment was deeply traumatising and psychologically torturous. In addition, with the threat of more prison time ahead, uncertainty is high.

We still need to support her. As it stands, Yulia cannot work - certainly not before trial. Any help to ensure she can meet basic needs at the moment is greatly appreciated.
