Story
To anyone in Norfolk wishing to donate to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine and surrounding countries:
Next week, we're sending a truck to the Poland-Ukraine border at Medyka. We have collated large stocks of non-perishable food, emergency first aid, sanitary products, nappies & baby products, blankets & duvets, shoes and power banks, as well as clothing for fleeing women and children.
We'll be sharing the live location of all your fantastic donations so you can follow the progress live.
Overwhelmingly, the response to our call for donations has been so well received that our truck is nearing capacity. We've self-funded the truck hire, ferry fees, insurance, and fuel of our first load and are now appealing for donations, however small, to see if we can extend our convoy to include more vehicles.
We have several drivers lined up and willing to volunteer their time to make the 23-hour journey, so if you can donate, we'll make it happen.
This target would allow us to take another fully loaded truck to the front lines of the Ukraine-Poland border.
If in the meantime, you can provide any of the following:
Clean Warm Blankets
Non-Perishable Food
Power Packs
Sanitary & Hygiene Products
First Aid
Baby Essentials
Nappies
Clean Winter Clothing
Torches and Batteries
Clean Baby Clothing
Colouring Books/Crayons
Shoes

3 years agoWow, thank you to all of you. Everytime we look at this page, we're completely overwhelmed by your generosity. We're crunching some rough numbers here, but initial estimates put your donations helping support approximately 3000 people and that's all from just a tiny corner of the country. We take our hats off to you. We're now working toward our 6th vehicle to go on Monday and we'll keep you posted on our progress.

3 years agoWe've now partnered with one of the largest refugee support distribution centres in Poland, the D2231 rotary national relief effort. We've been liasing with the District Governor Elect, Piotr Jankowski who has now been able to secure limited supply lines into Ukraine to take our aid not just to refugees fleeing the conflict but those stuck in them. Because of this, our destination has now changed to Zamość. About 35km from the border, it's uniquely positioned to be able to offer properly distributed support to all of the border crossings.

3 years agoWow. Just a little post to say an absolutely ginormous thank you to all those that have given, however large or small, to what has become a truly herculean effort to help those that need it most. Through your limitless generosity, what started as a £700 one-truck fundraiser, has turned into us being able to set an ambitious target of 5 vehicles all loaded full to the brim with targeted goods that are going to directly benefit those that need it most, in the most effective way possible.
