Thanks for taking the time to visit the Rotary Club of Swaffham JustGiving page. Gift Aid is enabled if you are eligible.

Our current campaign is to raise funds to buy and operate a 5-tonne vehicle, such as the one pictured, to distribute aid within Ukraine. This will take the generous international charity that is stored in many well stocked warehouses in major cities and hand it to the individual families and people who so desperately need it. One of our Rotarians has already made 20 trips to Odesa, Kherson and other places in his articulated lorry and has seen that the donated goods are often not being taken on the final leg because of a lack of suitable ‘last mile’ delivery vehicle.

A nimble all terrain wagon can get through on the smaller roads and be flexible enough to take supplies to the real point of need. In this way international charity is not wasted, the aid and assistance is given to those who so urgently need it, and we remind the proud Ukrainians fighting for their lives and livelihood and country that we have not forgotten them and that we still care.

Thank you so very much for your contribution here. This page is just one of the fund-raising channels we are using, so I am delighted to be able to report that we have exceeded our initial target substantially! We bought the vehicle itself for £11k in July, and just before Christmas we were able to pass Scott a second payment of £14000, ie a wonderful total of £25000!! Thank you so hugely much to all those Clubs and individuals who have made donations directly or otherwise fundraised on our behalf. Each & every piece of support we have received is very much appreciated. Let's keep going! Thank you!
