This summer, Paul Evans from Directors UK who is also a member of our Advisory Council, will be joining his friends from the Senedd 4 Ukraine, a cross-party group of Welsh Senedd members who work with business, trade unions and communities to source , equip and personally deliver 4x4 vehicles packed with essential medical supplies to support the healthcare system in Ukraine.
Update: Paul's hit my £2k target thanks to all of your generosity - you know who you are. I've decided to stretch it to £5k so we can cover the cost of a whole vehicle!
The situation is critical, and a lack of medical supplies is hindering the people of Ukraine from providing effective care to those affected by the ongoing conflict.
Paul will be driving nearly 2,000km from the UK, across Europe and into Ukraine to deliver the vehicles packed with these essential supplies and I would invite you to sponsor me doing so.
But for this work to continue, Paul will need more funds. It costs them at least £5k to buy, repair fuel and deliver a second-hand 4x4 and we aim to fill each vehicle with £10-£20k worth of medical supplies.
This work has had great support from trades unions (re-awakening bonds forged during the 1980s miner's strike between the NUM and Ukrainian trades unions) and Paul hope's his friends representing a wide range of unions, community groups and sports clubs will be able to donate.
In return Paul will consider all reasonable requests to add flags and badges to the vehicle he will be driving!
