Gift a 'Wonderbag to Ukraine'
- Description
WONDERBAG and Legacy of War Foundation, in collaboration with Cook for Ukraine, will send regular shipments of WONDERBAG’s heat-retention slow-cooking bags to Ukraine and distribute them to families in need across the region.
- Contribute £30 and WONDERBAG will match the donation, ensuring a complete WONDERBAG is funded and delivered.
Members of the public and organisations are being invited to support families affected by the energy crisis in Ukraine by helping to send life-changing, energy-saving WONDERBAG slow-cooking bags. WONDERBAG’s innovative, non-electric heat-retention cookers enable safe, fuel-efficient meal preparation, providing a practical solution for households facing fuel shortages and rising energy costs.
Residents of Kyiv are enduring a brutal winter after months of Russian drone and missile strikes have left hundreds of thousands without reliable heat, gas, or electricity. With critical infrastructure damaged, families are forced to rely on alternative - often labour-intensive - methods to cook food and stay warm.
In response to this crisis, WONDERBAG and Legacy of War Foundation, in collaboration with Cook for Ukraine, will send regular shipments of WONDERBAG’s heat-retention slow-cooking bags to Ukraine and distribute them to families in need across the region.
Distribution of WONDERBAGs in Ukraine will take place through trusted grassroots organisations experienced in providing vital on-the-ground support to the most vulnerable members of their communities.
"Tuesday 24 February is the fourth anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In solidarity with the people of Ukraine, we are collaborating with a network of passionate organisations to provide safe, fuel-efficient cooking solutions to families who need them most. Timely assistance is central to this mission. With winter temperatures dropping below -25°C, the need is urgent, and rapid intervention could mean the difference between survival and severe hardship for thousands of families.” Sarah Collins, CEO of WONDERBAG
“When access to heat and fire is so rare and intermittent, the work of WONDERBAG is literally lifesaving. It’s designed precisely for these kinds of crises. Please let’s not forget the unimaginable human suffering of Ukrainians and show our love and support by getting behind the essential work of WONDERBAG and the Legacy of War Foundation.” Alissa Timoshkina, author of Kapusta and co-founder of Cook for Ukraine

Nikki Foster
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant slow cooker! Great way to save energy
Size: Medium
Colour: Blue Swirls
"I didn't buy mine from Amazon (direct from seller) but I have been using mine for years! Works great to soak/soften dried chickpeas and beans. I love making curries and stews in it, really brings out the flavour, and no standing over the pot for hours, instead just cook the meat, brown the onions, heat to boiling and forget about it for 5hrs, then enjoy a lovely tasty meal.
I also use mine when camping as a cool box, no energy and works so much better than a plastic box or cool bag. Keeps yoghurt and cheese fine for days 👍"
SFDA
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply very effective , ethical and economical
Size: Medium
Colour: African Batik Green
"I read about this product on the WonderBag website and was impressed with the ethical aspects of the product as well as the fuel economy.
Works really well , but you do need short handled sauce pans, or ones with removable handles.."
MJI
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic service, brilliant product
Size: Medium
Colour: African Batik Grey
"This is excellent. The company has a very good ethos, great customer service and the product is just brilliant. So far I’ve cooked salmon in coconut peanut broth, bean soup and tomato sauce. Just a quick bit of cooking on hob, then into the bag it goes. It sits happily, cooking away. The flavours meld really nicely and I can just leave it be - can head out for a walk, go upstairs to work and not worry about the safety - no gas, which saves on the bills, too! I’ve heard you can cook chickpeas and also make yogurt, so they’re next on the list. Highly recommend. And the patterns are lovely!"
Willow
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Love Our Wonderbag!
Size: Medium
Colour: African Batik Green
"I couldn't wait to use our Wonderbag and it was amazing. The quality is so good.
Take time to fluff out the filling within the bag and don't forget to pop something in the base before you pop your pot in there.
I must admit I didn't want to leave it for longer than 3 hours before we had our dinner as I was worried it wouldn't be hot but I need not have worried it was piping hot...next time I will happily leave it up to the 8 hours the company say you can.
I really recommend this brilliant Wonderbag, I'm so glad that we invested in one!
Thank you to the creators."
A. Morgan
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for reducing energy consumption!
Size: Medium
Colour: African Batik Grey
"It's great these are now available on Amazon, we've had ours for years and they are a life saver! With energy prices going through the roof, our Wonderbag helps to keep our gas usage to a minimum when cooking. Highly recommend!"
Miss H Bailie
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing product
Size: Large
Colour: African Batik Red
"I bought two of these for Christmas presents. I love them. My friend who worked in Ethiopia for 23 years introduced them to me. We use them to keep takeaways warm"
Devon Lady
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Have the small now adding large
Size: Large
Colour: African Batik Red
"We have the small one and now we have the large one and love them both. The large one is because, in lockdown, we are doing more cooking for freezing in larger pans. We have had the smaller one for years and use it several times a week. No electricity or gas used (after initial 15 minutes), nothing burned, still hot after overnight use - what's not to like."
