A Journey of Hope: Delivering Aid and Joy to Ukraine

On Saturday 14th December 2024, a crew of fundraisers from Brighton and Hove set off on an epic journey to Ukraine, driving a convoy of 4×4 vehicles packed with essential aid and Christmas gifts for children in orphanages.

This mission, led by James Bonallack, is part of Pickups for Peace, an initiative delivering life-saving vehicles and humanitarian aid to those most in need. “Ukraine is under relentless attack,” says James. “These vehicles and supplies are critical for transporting people, medical aid, and equipment.”

This time, alongside three vehicles, the team are delivering medical supplies, spare parts, bivvy bags, and Christmas presents for over 200 children. The mission has been supported locally by Iryna Olyanovska, a Ukrainian living in Brighton who coordinates Stand for Ukraine Brighton and Hove.

Since February 2023, Pickups for Peace has delivered over 525 vehicles filled with vital aid. Ukrainian medic Yuriy Soroka says, “These vehicles save lives. The support is invaluable.”
