I am part of a volunteer group based at Nottingham City Hospital. We initially came together in February responding to a Facebook post 'help needed' this was from Roman who owns Trident Security, at this time based at donated premises at Quayside Colwick. City hospital had been collecting donations but didn't have the transport so as the premises in Colwick was no longer available from mid march we moved over to the Minster building at City Hospital, a local businessman also came on board offering storage at his yard in Alfreton and a place for the lorry to be packed, he also has a donation point on Beeston High Street. we have been sending an artic lorry full of humanitarian aid weekly since March we're now on lorry 26 we also have sent donations with Ambulance Aid to an orphanage/refuge in Ukraine with hundreds of Orphaned children and distressed mothers without their dad's and their husbands. We are also helping our Ukrainian guests however we can. A couple of Ukranian ladies that have recently settled with host families now volunteer with us to help their own people. This whole war situation is unbelievable, distressing and extremely upsetting but when you meet people first hand or get a message direct from Ukranians and they are so grateful and overwhelmed with our kindness and generosity...I am humbled to the core and my heart bursts with pain when I hear their stories and what they have had to deal with.
So we want to continue to help, we need donations. Join our Facebook group CityHubUkraine for all the up to date information.
Thank you 🇬🇧🇺🇦
