LEVCHYK SPECTRUM HUB is FFU's warmest project, filled with sincere support and love not only from the hub's specialists, but also from every member of the foundation's team. After all, children are our future, and we strive to provide them with all the necessary help for a happy childhood and future successful integration into society.
Two years ago, LEVCHYK SPECTRUM HUB became a safe space for internally displaced children on the autism spectrum. Some families have been with us from the very beginning, while others have joined us recently. In 2025, we celebrated the second anniversary of this project with a great mission, which gives children with ASD the chance to enjoy a full and happy childhood every day. We are growing and developing, so 2025 will be remembered for two more events: LEVCHYK's relocation to the heart of Lviv and the opening of a new hub in Mykolaiv to assist children from frontline areas. The center in Mykolaiv was launched thanks to the joint efforts of the Future for Ukraine (FFU) charitable foundation, the Mykolaiv City Council, and the partnership support of Nova Ukraine. The opening of the center here is an important step, as there are more than 120 children with autism spectrum disorders registered in the region who need regular correctional help.
A few words about figures: In Lviv, 58 children received corrective help within the hub in 2025, and about 7,000 classes were held! In Mykolaiv, 31 children currently attend the hub regularly, and about 1,000 classes have already been held for them.
FFU ensures that all LEVCHYK pupils receive the highest quality help, comprehensive development, and support. That is why in 2025, we introduced a new class and upgraded the hub's equipment to make everyday learning even more effective.
To support children preparing for first grade, we have opened a new school preparation class at LEVCHYK. The program, specially developed by our specialists, will help children feel more comfortable in their new environment, develop social and academic skills, reduce anxiety, and learn to follow rules.
The sensory integration room at LEVCHYK is where the kids spend most of their time. In 2025, we received new equipment gifted by our friends at Quarks: a treadmill, a Pikler Arch and Montessori Hill, and a balance board.
The AVT Bavaria (MINI Cooper) team presented LEVCHYK SPECTRUM HUB with new equipment for the art therapy room, creating a space for the children where creativity has no rules or restrictions. Now in the room are a white and black wall for drawing, a potter's wheel, and a special area for creativity.
We strive to give our pupils not only knowledge, but also emotions! Therefore, in addition to classic remedial classes, this year the children took part in a large number of developmental master classes. For Easter, the lion cubs learned how to create festive decorations For Lviv Day, they tried art therapy with clay. For Embroidery Day, they painted eco-bags with ornaments; and in honor of Children's Day, they handmade sweets. The holiday was held with the support of the foundation's regular patron, Vadym Stolar.
Also, in 2025, we focused on supporting the parents of our pupils. We understand how important it is for them to learn to understand their children better and to restore their own psychological and physical resources. Therefore, in order to discuss topics of concern with parents and provide the necessary support, LEVCHYK SPECTRUM HUB hosted its first friendly meeting with parents, psychologists, and methodologists.
We continued to inform other parents about the possibility of receiving help at LEVCHYK SPECTRUM HUB. In particular, together with photographer Marta Grinshtein and her son Ivan, who has been diagnosed with ASD, we launched a LEVCHYK test drive. For three months, Ivan attended all classes at the hub, and Marta shared her impressions of the process on her Instagram.
The FFU Foundation participated in the third annual conference “I Can!” for specialists in behavioral therapy, speech therapy, educators in the field of inclusion, specialists in helping children with autism spectrum disorders, and parents raising children with ASD. At the event, we, along with other specialists, shared our own experiences and new effective approaches to working with children on the spectrum.
One of the most ambitious projects of 2025 is School Nostalgia, which this year brought together a record number of businesses for a charitable cause. In cooperation with our partners, we raised 178,168 UAH! The campaign joined: Milk Bar, Namelaka, Mimosa Pizza, Zhittia Bentezhne (ZhZL) restaurant, Cheesecake Family, Avtostantsiya Pizzeria, Tisto Café & Bakery, ESSEyists, Soul Cafe, Ristorante 8/8, BROOKS (Dnipro), Remi Cafe, MARIE Patisserie (Poltava), Coffee Records, ‘GudFood at Home’ freshly frozen meal delivery service, 100 Rokiv Tomu Vpered, Inshi (Lviv), Zvirynetska, Franyk Café & Bakery, OLYMPIA CAFE (Dnipro).

Today, LEVCHYK SPECTRUM HUB is a source of support for families with children on the spectrum, a safe space where they receive real help. We are grateful to everyone who stands by us, ready to provide sincere help and share their warmth, including Pfizer Foundation, Quarks, and Nova Ukraine.
