Children love stickers. They also love cartoons.

So Mother has created Friendly Faces sticker packs featuring the characters from well-known Ukrainian cartoons to help the thousands of displaced Ukrainian children in the UK feel even more welcome.   

Moving to a strange new place can be daunting for anyone, especially children. When you’re a kid far from home, it’s comforting to see some Friendly Faces. 

The agency is distributing its Friendly Faces stickers free.

Each free Friendly Faces sticker pack contains well-known Ukrainian cartoon characters from Mavka. The Forest Song – which all recently appeared on the BBC’s Hey Duggee – and The Cossacks alongside encouraging Ukrainian phrases. 

Government data shows that the UK has welcomed 115,000 Ukrainians, up to February 7, 2023. According to ONS data on Ukrainian refugees (22/11/22) 32% of Ukrainian children at preschool or nursery don’t receive English language support and 45% of adults live with at least one dependent child, who had arrived with them from Ukraine.

The Friendly Faces sticker packs are free to order from friendly-faces.org
