Ukraine Update 17th June
I would wish to offer my thanks for your support to Computers for Charities its Ukraine Appeal.
After COVID It has been so encouraging to see the national response aid Ukraine directly and support its refugees in the UK.
We have experienced a few delays in getting aid to areas of need. However next week, I will be driving out to the Ukraine with medical & food supplies to the region of Odessa in the South East. A journey of around 3000 miles, and as with all such trips has required much patience and preparation.
All being well, I hope to update our Facebook page when possible https://www.facebook.com/ComputersforCharities which may be of interest.
Well done and thank you

Lost property at schools & organisations must be a suitable location. Hence if work at such a place, have children of school age or grandchildren.

Listen In.
Well done to NHS staff. including the setting up of Sussex NHS Ukraine Appeal WhatsApp group.
Needless to say Survival boxes and financial support are the need at this time. Following the first visit we will be better able to advise.
Many thanks to John Kimble (John Kimble Graphic Design) with the supply of art work.
Information flyers are available on request. If you can circulate this too friends, family, workplaces, organisations and schools, that would be great.
If you wish to support, maybe as a collecting point to reduce my travel that would be great.
