Stolen from Aid Box Convoy on Facebook. I know we discussed this at AGM PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE SENDING AID TO UKRAINE We saw this when we were out in the French refugee camps, uncoordinated aid deliveries all done with the best intentions but actually causing a lot of work for the people out in the front line and undignified mess, tons of wasted clothes that ended up being trampled through the mud or used as fuel on fires creating horrendous smoke that caused lung problems. If you want to support people in Ukraine from the UK the message we are hearing loud and clear from Ukraine, Poland, Moldavia, and Romania are please SEND FUNDS NOT AID. Unless you are sending through a larger experienced organisation. This organisation is UK based and is collecting aid. They are reputable and experienced. Hope and Aid Direct https://www.facebook.com/1032050693483509/posts/5263081867047016/ It is better to donate funds directly to groups on the ground, which will support them with immediate needs. Information of groups already on the ground: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10160273329237975&id=560827… If the groups do not reply, it means they are busy. Be patient. A UK organisation who are also incredible and worth donating funds to are: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/RefugeeSupportUkraine We in the UK will be welcoming a small number of Refugees from Ukraine and have other asylum seekers and refugees who still need your help. We will be preparing to welcome Ukrainian refugees to Bristol Aid Box Community - Hope and Help to Refugees you can donate fund or items - items needed are listed in our website.
