Help To Ukraine
* Latest Update – Nov 2022 *
At present collections have been suspended. The majority of refugees have now been safely housed close to the border or in other European nations including here in the UK, such as those close to our own Wincanton head office. You can read one such refugee story in the New Blackmore Vale Magazine. https://blackmorevale.net/open-arms-and-an-open-house/
We cannot thank every enough that helped support our appeal in collecting over 8 tonnes of aid.
* Update – April 2022 *
A huge thank you to everyone that has donated. We estimate we have collected and transported over 7 tonnes of aid so far.
We are continuing to collect donations but the focus has switched. Our counterparts in Poland are telling us the priority is now food.
You can still help, see the list below.
We recently received this email from a Ukrainian refugee, thanking everyone for their support.
