We have a long standing relationship with Ukraine, with Chernobyl being one of the three tours we offered back in 2008 when Lupine was founded.

We are devastated at the current situation the people in Ukraine find themselves in due to Putin's invasion.

Over the past two weeks we have been collecting donations alongside a local charity to be sent to Ukraine; everything from food to medical supplies. So far 3 van loads have been sent from Wigan via our Ukrainian friend Vitaly. The items are dropped off at the Ukrainian border and they are then being distributing to areas in need within Ukraine.

Due to the amazing response, with donations still continuing to come in daily, we are now looking to raise funds to pay fuel costs to allow additional journeys to Ukraine and back.

Our initial target is £500 but anything extra we can raise will hugely help us to fund multiple journeys. Any help you can offer, no matter how small will be gratefully received.
