Story
The mission of Reach Beyond is to be the voice and hands of Jesus working together in partnership with others. Right now, we need to be His voice and hands for the people of Ukraine as their country is being torn apart by war.
Ukrainian Christians, despite the challenging situation they face personally, are reaching out to their fellow countrymen and women in need, bringing practical help and spiritual hope. They have asked for our assistance with this immense task.
We sent our first van full of supplies to Poland in April and we are now well under way with preparations for a second van leaving at the end of May.
Working in partnership with UK churches, Reach Beyond will be delivering urgently needed medical supplies to Poland. From there they will be collected and then distributed inside Ukraine by our Christian partners.
These supplies are running low across Europe due to the intense demand, therefore we have been asked to purchase the supplies in the UK and deliver them directly to our Polish and Ukrainian friends. This will be achieved in conjunction with the charity Central Eurasian Partners.
Medical supplies to be delivered include trauma dressings, tourniquets, stretchers, bandages and other essential equipment. We are looking into a way of supplying medicines as well.
We have been asked to provide very specific items; therefore our logistics team will be purchasing these rather than accepting any physical donations at this stage.
Your generous financial support for this initiative will enable us to buy the exact medical supplies that are required, to cover transport and logistics costs, and enable UK churches to directly bless, strengthen and encourage the Ukrainian Church as it fearlessly serves the Lord and the nation of Ukraine.
Any surplus funds raised will be used to send further aid supplies to our church partners in Poland. Reach Beyond will cover their charity administration costs with a 3% charge on donations.
