For Partners

Meaningful collaboration is like water for flowers: it helps ideas grow.
We believe that every project created with respect and purpose has the power to change the world around us.

Maiak is a social media outlet that tells real human stories — about Ukrainians and beyond.
We write in Ukrainian and English to build a bridge between cultures, helping British audiences better understand Ukrainians, and Ukrainians to feel at home in a new place.

We are for migrants, asylum seekers, refugees, volunteers, and everyone finding their place.
For us, partnership is not a formality — it is the shared nurturing of trust, humanity, and mutual understanding.

Who is this for?

media outlets looking to exchange content and amplify each other;
community organisations, foundations, and initiative groups seeking media support;
social entrepreneurs transforming the communities around them;
responsible businesses, brand and PR agencies looking to create meaningful content and impactful special projects.

Why Maiak?

Because we combine media with mission.
We are a social enterprise (CIC, United Kingdom), and every partnership helps us sustain independent journalism that gives a voice to those who are rarely heard.

Our audience is made up of engaged, conscious people from Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the diaspora — people who care about culture, stories, art, personal growth, and community life.
We speak to them in a human voice — no clickbait, no scandal, no politics.
