Story
Update 16.8.23 - This part of our fundraising is now complete but the work to support the emergancy services of Ukraine goes on!! You can find our new appeal fund here:
https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/the-pot-place-ambulances-for-ukraine
Thank you for supporting us and please keep the donations coming. From all the Team at The Pot Place Garden Centre, Penrith, Cumbria 🇺🇦🚑🇬🇧
Update 23.5.2023 - last week we successfully made the journey to Lviv and delivered our two ambulances, the motorcycle and a full load of medical aid and equipment. Today the ambulances are being transferred to the front line area and the bike has already completed several shifts in the Lviv area with an NGO called Motohelp Lviv. We'd like to thank everyone who donated through this page. Because of you, and some private donations we reached our target and will be starting a new appeal very soon 🇺🇦🚑🇬🇧 We will not stop supporting the people of Ukraine.
Update 7.5.2023 - We will be leaving for Ukraine in two days time. Thanks to everyone who has donated we will be taking two ambulances and the paramedic motorcycle packed full with vital equipment. We hope to be in Lviv by Saturday - follow our progress on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/thepotplacegardencentre
Please don't stop giving though as I'm sure we will return with a long list of items our friends in Ukraine need next 🇺🇦🚑🇬🇧
UPDATE 27.4.2023 - Thanks to some fantastic recent donations we now have only another £2000 to raise. As we are getting so close to achieving our target we are starting to make plans to leave for Ukraine hopefully in the next two weeks. Thanks to all that have donated but we still have a little way to go so please help if you can. Paul 🇺🇦🚑🇬🇧
UPDATE 31.3.2023 - Since the invasion of Ukraine we have raised over £30,000 to buy Ambulances, Paramedic Motorcycles and other aid and take them to Lviv to donate to the Ukrainian Ambulance Service.
Unfortunately today our previous Just Giving page expired without warning! But this week we were offered an amazing deal by our friends at the North East Ambulance Service. They have two fully equipped ambulances coming off service and we can have both if we can raise the remainder of our target!! We need to be quick though so any form of sponsorship, donation, fundraising idea or gift is welcome as we still need £5000 to reach our target. If we achieve our aim we will be taking 2 ambulances and a paramedic motorcycle to Ukraine very soon. Our proposition is always the same, if you can help to pay for the vehicles, we will pay for the fuel, ferries and other costs needed to get to Ukraine.
They need our help now more than ever so please help if you can 🇺🇦🚑🇬🇧 Follow our progress on Facebook here https://www.facebook.com/thepotplacegardencentre
