About us

Noel began volunteering on the ground in Ukraine since 2023, conducting frontline evacuations in active conflict zones. This hands-on work in high-risk areas revealed the incredible, life-saving efforts of local Ukrainian organisations. He started Volara to be a simple, direct, and trusted bridge to these heroes.

Every donation Volara raises goes directly to verified charities working on the ground, providing critical aid to those who need it most. Together, we can make a meaningful impact in supporting Ukraine's path to freedom. If you would like to ask Noel anything directly, please use the channels below:

Tom is the CEO and Co-founder of Human Made, a global WordPress agency built on the principles of openness, collaboration, and putting people first. A lifelong entrepreneur, he's dedicated his career to building organisations that prove you can do ambitious work while caring deeply for the people who make it possible.

Inspired by Noel's work on the ground in Ukraine, Tom co-founded Volara to bring that same human-centred ethos to humanitarian aid. He believes in radical transparency, empowered local leadership, and a deep faith in humanity's capacity for compassion and courage — even in the darkest moments. His focus is on helping Volara move fast, stay accountable, and keep people — not systems — at the heart of everything it does.

Pavel, a Kharkiv-native, has been on the ground in Ukraine conducting evacuations since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in 2022.

He is the Co-founder and Director of Field Operations at Dog Help Kharkiv UA, one of Volara's key frontline partners. A former businessman and one of Ukraine's most renowned gun dog trainers and international judges, Pavel has redirected his deep expertise in high-pressure field operations to leading life-saving work on the frontlines.
