We are urgently hoping to raise funds to support us taking emergency aid to Ukrainian refugees arriving in Poland.

Each trip is expensive and we estimate each trip to cost £1500, our first lorry is on its way so we will calculate the full cost on its return to cover the cost of fuel, ferry charges, breakdown cover, insurance and driver meals/accommodation.

OUR STORY: We launched the idea on 8th March after a casual chat amongst colleagues around the office, the first post went out on Facebook at 6pm and by 9th March lunchtime our office and a shipping container were full, we had a 3.5 tonne lorry worth of goods! Unbelievable. Our first lorry was filled within 24 hours by the generous residents of Seaford, Newhaven, Eastbourne and Peacehaven and surrounds. On the 10th March the team (Joe, Magda, Alex, Bex, Ricky, Alice and Aaryan) sorted, organised, packed and loaded the first lorry, and on the 11th March our two kind drivers, Alex and Chris left the UK to take the donations to Poland.

The first trip is the hardest, there are a number of unknowns ahead but we are committed to getting the items to those fleeing Ukraine as soon as possible, which is why we set ourselves such a short turnaround as we know that every second counts.

Your donations will directly impact the lives of the people, children and pets who now are without homes, injured, orphaned and starting their lives again.

Please help us keep the vans being sent, each trip is around £1000-1500 in fuel and costs and we would like to send a lorry every week.
