Ukraine in a Fire Truck

Help4Ukraine does a lot more than send Ambulances and Medical aid to Ukraine. We do a lot more than support and extract people in the country through our partners Operation Safe Drop and the Make a Difference Foundation.

Tales from the front line

We travelled from Lviv to the east as far as Zaporizhzhya, as fast as the road conditions allowed. It was a hard demand on the vehicles over some extraordinarily rough roads.

Our expanding fleet

The Make a Difference Operation Safe Drop fleet has been expanded again. This time we have added a 7-seat Land Rover to the fleet.
This will give us much greater mobility and access to areas where, normally, we might struggle.

Evacuation Unit delivery

Work for Ukraine continues. We are supporting ‘First One in’ and ‘Operation Safe Drop’ both teams on the ground in Ukraine. Their roles are to train army personnel in battlefield first aid and in extracting those who need help the most; elderly, disabled, and traumatised children. Extracting them from the front line and into occupied territory.

Make a Difference Foundation

The Make a Difference Foundation has been operating Operation Safe Drop in Ukraine. Extracting the vulnerable and serving those most in need, in the direst of circumstances.

Thank you to everyone who supports

A week ago Help4Ukraine gave the Make a Difference Foundation enough funds to buy two more vehicles and support further their refugee rescue initiative – Operation Safety Drop which has been initiated by a member of our Help4Ukraine group Toby Illingworth.

Help4Ukraine Reception

An evening reception for Help4Ukraine was held on 31st March in the sumptuous Library of the Travellers Club in London. Over ninety people came, including a visit by His Excellency Vadym Prystaiko, the Ambassador of Ukraine, who, in his moving speech, thanked everyone for their provision of ambulances and medical aid to the suffering people of Ukraine.

The First six

Immediately following the invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops, Nick Monson set about raising funds to provide humanitarian aid. From the outset, it was obvious to Nick that a medical lifeline would be needed to serve those impacted by what had just happened.
