Hi, my name is John, and I run The Frame Breakers public house in Ruddington Village. Myself and the pub manager Dave Frankie have have just returned from the Ukraine Boarder in Poland. We drove a large Luton van over ourselves full with donated aid and purchased further essential suppliers. We now have contact with one of the aid coordinators will be returning in may to provide further help. This time we are flying to the local airport and will hire a vehicle. We have access to 2 large wholesales, and will be able to purchase all the essential supplies they need on a daily basis. We will also be able to help people directly as they are crossing over into Poland. After speaking to a lot of the aid workers on the ground it became very obvious that our direct help is far better as they need people power and daily essentials. We can see every penny going to where its needed and will be able to purchase food, medical items & sleeping bags. Then with the support of our aid worker they will be taken over into Ukraine where people are desperate and have nothing.

We are running charity events on site at The Frame Breakers in Ruddington Village, along with selling stock donated from our suppliers.. All funds from the sales will be donated to this cause.

All the money we raise will be used in Poland to purchase all the items required for the shelters in Lviv. We will be stationed at Przemysl which is 5KM from the crossing point and we will be using a local MACRO and EURO CASH & CARRY. We will be taking them over the border and into the Ukraine. These then get loaded into a Ukrainian Vehicle and transported to the displace families who are taking shelter in their own country.
