Urgent Appeal: We desperately need two hand-held scanners for six hospitals in Sumy, NE Ukraine. Please help with our crowdfunding appeal. https://tinyurl.com/hugsscanners
We regularly run aid collection days at community centres, schools and sports clubs around Newbury, Hungerford and Marlborough to enable the community to donate items.
Our team of dedicated volunteers spend the day sorting and packing all the donations, which are then delivered via our network of supporters to Ukraine.
UPCOMING COLLECTION DAY - Our 14th aid collection day will be on July 22nd 2025 at Marlborough Town Football Club, Elcot Lane, Marlborough SN8 2BG. 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Please see list of items below.
If you are able to donate any such items please get in touch. Please also consider making a cash donation to enable us to buy the most urgently needed items and get them to Ukraine ASAP.
