Humanitarian Aid to Ukraine - can you help?

[Mark Bunting]

At the end of April 2024, I will be driving a 4x4 Pick-up to Ukraine for a Charity, Pickups for Peace. My co-driver for the 1,500 mile trip is Rory Graham who lives in North Cheriton.

We will be leaving the vehicle in Ukraine.

We are looking for the following humanitarian aid items, which the Ukrainians desperately need. 

Can you donate any of these items from your garage, shed or cupboards?

Old mobile phones are of huge use to the Ukrainians. The attached article highlights the reasons why

Well done you. I'm afraid I don't have any spare chainsaws, but I have got some women,s winter clothing I could give. Where should I take them and when?

We had an incredible day in Sherborne picking up some really useful items for Ukraine.

My trip to Ukraine was a success and the Ukrainians were grateful for the 38 vehicles that were delivered. I had never driven so far into Europe, or enthered a war torn country, but Lviv appeared relatively safe, even thought the Air raid warnings went off on our first night. 

Please find attached my report on our trip. Thank you to all who contributed supplies and funding.
