Back in March, ten of our amazing people made their way to the Poland-Ukraine border to deliver donations given from colleagues across the business.
Now, a lorry kindly donated by local haulage company, Forest Freight, will be leaving the UK on Tuesday 24 May and making its way back to the border to provide further aid to those in need.
Touched by the stories of the Ukrainian refugees our people met, we would desperately like to fill this lorry with essential donations for Ukraine before it sets off on its journey and invite our customers to help us.
The team are asking for donations of:
- Non-Perishable Food (Tinned, Pasta, Rice, items with a long life)
- Medical Supplies / Equipment
- Personal Hygiene / Sanitary Products
- Baby Products (Nappies, follow on milk, etc)
We have included a list of some of these items in an Amazon wish list we have set up:
Items purchased online by our customers will be sent directly to our sites and added to the donations to be included on the lorry.
Please note, the last date for online donations is Thursday 19 May.
