On the 14th February, along with a dream team of Workday colleagues, I'll be embarking on a 3-day trip to drive and deliver pick up trucks, ambulances and vans filled with vital supplies to Ukraine. We are the first all female team (girl power, am I right?) to be making this journey supporting Ukrainian Action - an incredible organisation dedicated to delivering critical humanitarian aid to the people of Ukraine in their time of need.

The drive is organised by Ukrainian Action, a small charity founded in 2022 by people with a direct network in Ukraine. Since March 2022, they have successfully delivered and donated over 300 vehicles across more than 60 humanitarian aid convoys. These vehicles play a crucial role in distributing humanitarian aid to liberated areas, evacuating civilians from conflict zones, and transporting heroes.

You can help us by donating towards the purchase of one such truck and the humanitarian and medical supplies which it will be carrying. It typically costs c.£7,000 to buy a vehicle, prepare it, fill it with supplies (depending on the supplies), and deliver it from the UK to Ukraine. Your donation, however small, will contribute to the vehicle I will be driving, and help us to support those in Ukraine for whom every day represents a long and enduring struggle.

Between now and February, I am on a mission to raise as much money as I can to support Ukrainian Action.

Thank you in advance for your support, and I'll be sure to keep everyone updated along the way.
