Team Devon's fundraiser for Ukrainian Action (UK)

Ukrainian Action Team Devon, based on the estuarial River Dart, is raising money for Ukrainian Action (UK)
Ukrainian Action is a volunteer-run, US non-profit and UK charity dedicated to supporting the survival and recovery of Ukraine

Story

Putin's war aims remain the same and Russia's missiles, bombs and exploding drones rain down on Ukraine every day. They kill and maim scores of Ukrainians -- civilians in cities, towns and villages as well as soldiers on the front lines.

Team Devon fundraise to buy pickups, vans, ambulances and minibuses and deliver them (at the drivers' expense) to Poland. Packed with aid and with help from our Polish and Ukrainian friends they get delivered to medical teams, rescue organisations and rehabilitation centres in Ukraine.

Since March 2023 we have driven 64 vehicles to Poland for onward delivery to Ukraine. Most of them were purchased locally with funds raised through this page or its predecessors -- the rest were donated. They contained large quantities of humanitarian aid, including much-needed generators and medical supplies.

Ukrainian Action UK is an entirely volunteer-run charity. No-one is paid a salary. All funds raised go to purchasing vehicles or insurance, ferry crossings or winter tyres for the convoys. Around 5% of the funds are kept at any one time for future purchases of vehicles.

Team Devon's most recent convoy, our thirteenth, consisting of 5 vehicles, arrived in Poland on 28 November; they reached Ukraine the next day. We plan two convoys early next year if we have the funds in place. Please help us to achieve this and support the long-suffering Ukrainians. We would also welcome help in sourcing pick-up trucks.
