The public organization “Rada of Hromadska Bezpeky” was established in 2007 to increase the level of economic and legal knowledge of citizens, participate in the implementation of economic and socio-cultural state / public programs of the region aimed at social, legal and economic protection of citizens. However, having united the active patriotic citizens of Odessa, the Rada of Hromadska Bezpeki began its active work in April 2014 with charitable volunteer assistance to the military units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces leaving Crimea after the illegal annexation of the peninsula by the Russian Federation, and assistance to military personnel / volunteers going to front to defend Ukraine. Volunteers and donors collected things necessary to improve the life of families of military personnel; volunteer charitable assistance in the form of food, ammunition, equipment, building materials and spare parts was provided to military units stationed in the Odessa region; volunteers repaired obsolete equipment and helped with the arrangement of the life of military personnel, organizing their leisure time.

Since June 2014, the RSL began to actively help the Military Medical Center of the Southern Region (hospital 411), when the first wounded soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the ATO zone began to arrive at the Odessa military hospital. Charitable funds were used to purchase the necessary medicines and special equipment, food and bedding, medical equipment necessary for the effective treatment and rehabilitation of wounded soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

At the same time, sympathetic citizens of Odessa began to independently bring medicines and other things to the office of the RSL to be transferred as assistance to the wounded. If donors donated money, medicines were purchased for them in accordance with current needs and transferred to the hospital according to acceptance certificates. All transfers were carried out by volunteers of the RSL, who were on duty in the medical institution every day, and after the transfer of aid, reports were provided to donors. Also, since June, our organization began to form cargoes from food, military uniforms, clothing, personal hygiene products, spare parts for military equipment and protective equipment necessary in combat conditions, and independently transport them to the ATO zone.

Since September 2014, the RSL has been engaged in the direction of the military-patriotic education of adolescents. Thus, the military-patriotic training camp “Ukrainian Opir – Odeska Sich” was equipped on the territory of the abandoned Institute of the Ground Forces in the city of Odessa by the forces of caring Odessans and activists of the RSL.

In March 2015, the RSL organized a charity marathon concert to raise funds for the purchase of a resuscitation vehicle for the soldiers of the ATO “Kuzma with us”, in memory of the musician Kuzma Skryabin, who died in a car accident, in which such famous performers as Oleg Skripka and the group “ Gaidamaki.
