New Forest for Ukraine CIC have just celebrated sending 60 vans of aid directly to refugees in Poland and Ukraine. Van 61 is now also ready to go.
With the onset of winter, donations remain urgently required.

The New Forest for Ukraine CIC operation is run entirely by a network of volunteers who collect, sort and pack donations, load vans, as well as driving the aid to Poland & Ukraine.
The volunteer team includes local people, as well as Ukrainians and Polish nationals who have settled in the UK. Using their network in their home country they have set up a direct supply route to ensure all the aid gets directly to people who need it. Each truck is not only very much needed humanitarian aid it is also a sign of affinity with the Ukrainian people and what they are going through.
Unfortunately, the flow of donations is slowing up whilst the need for support is increasing. With the onset of winter the temperatures will drop to minus 40 in Poland and Ukraine meaning the need for support is greater now than ever before.
The priority items are on the poster above, and these donations can be dropped-off at the Saltwater Café or the Community Centre in Milford on Sea. From there they will be collected and taken to the main hub in Lymington before shipment directly to Poland and Ukraine.
New Forest for Ukraine is always looking for more support from volunteers. For more information please see their website: www.newforestforukraine.co.uk
