The temperature in Kyiv drops to -7 degrees at night and it will remain cold until the end of the month. With no heating, the situation is becoming quite extreme. The defenders of Ukraine urgently need sleeping bags, thermal clothing and tourniquets. Our friends in Poland, who bought and donated as much as they could, let us know that this sort of equipment is currently out of stock and very difficult to find. We decided to buy / collect as much as we can here in London and organise a transport to Poland and then to Ukraine.

You can either make financial donation or just buy/donate WARM (0 or +5 degrees) sleeping bags / thermal clothing (M, L, XL sizes) and medical tourniquets. In case of donating equipment please contact us directly: Natalia (+44 7596246514), Piotr (+44 7783760722) to discuss collection options. We're based in Charlton.

We'll be very greatful for your help!

Natalia, Piotr, Maciej & Julia
