Hands Up Foundation is now Action Syria

Hope, uncertainty — and the work ahead 

New programmes. Trusted partners. A flexible, transparent way to give.

Syria is at a turning point

In the months since the fall of the Assad regime, Syria has faced a fragile political transition, a shattered economy, and the painful reckoning with decades of destruction.

More recently, violence continues to escalate. Atrocities in Latakia and Suwayda have shown how fragile this moment truly is — and how dangerous life remains for millions of Syrians.  

Yet, Syrians are rebuilding. Civil society is stepping up. And Action Syria is working alongside them. 

Since December, we’ve been laying the groundwork — scoping new partners, building trusted relationships, listening to communities, and identifying where support is most needed. We’ve now launched two new programmes with small, Syrian-led organisations inside Syria, while continuing to fund our longstanding partners delivering vital education and medical services.  

These partnerships reflect our commitment to flex where the need is greatest, respond quickly, and back the people who know their communities best.  

As the situation evolves, our ability to act — and adapt — depends on support from people like you.
