Blue Peony Foundation was co-founded by Zoia Douglas along with other community members on social media to support Ukranian refugees in New South Wales.

Now, the foundation has more than 30 volunteers helping those displaced.

This month, the organisation received the Refugee Supporter Award from the NSW Service for the Treatment and Rehabilitation of Torture and Trauma Survivors (STARTTS) for their efforts and work.
