    I have just spent a few days on the Ukraine / Polish border, helping the dispalced Ukrainians crossing the border.

    Unfortunately the make shift centres the Ukrainians go to be processed are seriously over run.

    This is down to the volume of people fleeing but mainly down to the paperwork work required by each country to allow them to get a visa to leave poland, for example the UK is taking 3 weeks to process each family.

    So where do you put all these people for 2 or 3 weeks while they wait for there visas to be processed, and that's the reason for this funding page

    Their is an abundance of food, clothes, medical supplies but not places for them to stay in Poland.

    I spent a few days there with my friend David booking rooms in hostels and transporting people to them, I am working along side a charity who is based in one of processing centres, so when we move people out of the centres they stay intouch with the families, visit them at the hostels to ensure they are ok and everything is being processed for their visa applications.

    People cannot stay in the processing centres, they are not designed for this, they are cramped, chaotic and unfortunately full of disease especially Covid, they need to be moved on into a more safer and humane environment.

    I have Identified a hostel that can take a large number of people and more as time goes on, the hostel has separate rooms for each family and communal kitchens and is only 45 minutes drive from the processing centre but more importantly only 10 minutes drive from the visa centre in Rzeszow.

    The hostel costs 55 zloty per night per person which equates to £11 per night per person, the idea is to raise as much money as possible so we can supply as many rooms as possible.

    Every penny raised will go towards rooms.

    Let's help these amazing Ukrainian people feel a bit of normality.
