We are now in embarking on are 4th trip to Ukraine have taken numerous pickup trucks and Ambulances, all loaded with medical equipment to the CMAU in Lviv, over the past two years. As ever, we find all the work done by not only the CMAU but by so many of the people in Ukraine so inspiring that we feel we need to do more.

We know that the situation in Ukraine is still dire. But the ambulances and all the medical equipment we have taken in the past is put into use immediately. Furthermore, we receive regular updates from medical units on how the vehicles are being utilised. However, there is still a massive problem with transporting casualties from the frontline to casualty evacuation centers before they can be transported to hospital. And this is where 4x4 pick-ups are so invaluable.

We continue to buy pick-ups and Ambulances and load them with as much medical equipment as possible, so your kindness and generosity is always appreciated.

So far we have raised nearly £120,000!!! Thank you all.

Thank you.

DETAILS OF FUNDRAISING EFFORTS THUS FAR

We all know how desperate the situation in Ukraine is but sadly it is fading from the news somewhat. We also know that this will bring many more civilian and military casualties. It is also well known that treatment in the first few minutes/ hours of a casualty incident is critical to their chances of survival.

The country is desperately short of all things military and this is clearly the role of international governments. However, they are also desperately short of ambulances and medical supplies.

This is where we ALL can make a meaningful difference. Through various contacts, and with the help of the International Christian Medical and Dental Association (ICMDA), we can equip ambulances with vital medical consumables via donations.

Increasingly individuals are raising the necessary finance to purchase a pickup or Ambulance, which i can then source and fill with medical equipment. Individuals, fund there own expenses and return flight, ensuring that 100% of your donation is actually spent on directly supplied aid.

I need a means to hold the cash and purchase the vehicles (at auction or privately) and also pay for fuel, insurance, documentation and recovery. It is for this reason that I am making use of my Charitable Trust to collect donations, and the Trust itself will also make a meaningful donation. All money raised for this effort is ring fenced and can only be spent on Ukraine.

Using this method for donation also means that those of you with CAF accounts can easily make a contribution. We could, of course, funnel all this through a national charity, but doing it ourselves means every penny donated - and more - will be spent on the vehicles and supplies.

Thank you.
