We focus on three key areas:
Ambulances for hospitals
Hospitals throughout the country have lost many ambulances to enemy action. We work with key partners to provide high quality vehicles so that civilian populations can access the urgent medical support that they so desperately need.
Civil defence
Ukrainian rescuers frequently have to reach civilians trapped under collapsed buildings and need heavy lifting and other equipment (including cranes) to reach them. We find out what is needed, buy it and deliver it to where it needs to be.

Delivering aid
Our vehicles arrive in Ukraine filled to the brim with medical and practical aid including dressings and medical kit, defibrillators, generators, mobility aids, sleeping bags and blankets for displaced people as well as dog food for rescue dogs helping the Rescue Service.
Who we are
We are a group of volunteers who liaise with pharmaceutical companies, pharmacies and hospitals across the UK to procure medical equipment and supplies.
We purchase second hand ambulances that are equipped and still functional but have been financially written off in the UK. We overhaul them and ensure they are in good working order. Filled with medical equipment and supplies, they are driven across the Poland-Ukraine border by volunteer fundraisers, to Ukrainian hospitals most in need.
With partners including the Ukrainian Ministry of Health and State Emergency Service we identify hospitals where our vehicles, equipment and aid can make a real difference. We source, check and buy the right vehicles, equipment and aid then repair it and deliver it to where it will have the greatest impact.
