Hi everyone,

Simon and Chris cannot sit back for another minute and just watch what is happening in Ukraine.

We must help the Ukrainian people directly so have bought a17 seat minibus for the sole purposes of:

delivering emergency medical equipment and provisions to towns on the Polish/Ukrainian border

transporting Ukrainian nationals to safe havens in the UK and to other parts of Europe.

We will be leaving for Chelm on Polish/Ukraine/Belarus border on or before 11th April for the first of many trips to deliver essential aid and collect bereft families of women and children & bring them back to the safety and support of British homes and families.

Simon and Chris are personally covering the purchase of the minibus and our own expenses en-route, but are asking for donations to cover costs that we will incur (please see estimates of costs below)

PLEASE DONATE AS MUCH MONEY AS YOU ARE ABLE SO WE CAN BEGIN - AND CONTINUE - TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS
