Acres Insurance Brokers is once again gearing up to deliver vital aid to the Ukrainian front line.
For this trip, the company is appealing for donations of small diesel generators, nets to help camouflage vehicles on the battlefield, and tourniquets for emergency medical use. Financial contributions are also welcome to help purchase essential supplies and cover the cost of servicing and repairing the vehicles – ensuring they are roadworthy and ready for the journey from the UK to Ukraine.
This latest mission will see the largest convoy yet. The team will once again make the demanding two-day drive across Europe, reaching Lviv, Ukraine, where the vehicles will be resprayed and distributed to medical and humanitarian teams.
Since the war began, Acres Insurance Brokers and its network of clients and friends have donated over 40 vehicles, providing critical transport for wounded soldiers, medics, and humanitarian teams. “Every nine minutes, an evacuation of the wounded is attempted in Ukraine. The vehicles we donate play a vital role in transporting injured soldiers to receive urgent medical attention. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has contributed so far, and we’re calling on more people to help,” says Acres director Nigel Wellings.
“With each trip we see the impact these donations have on the ground. The need is still urgent, and every contribution, big or small, makes a difference. Our team remains committed to supporting Ukraine’s rural communities and ensuring that critical aid continues to reach the front line,” adds Nigel.
Jacob Simpson, Driving Ukraine operations manager says. “Driving Ukraine is proud to support Acres Insurance Brokers, who have delivered over 40 vehicles to Ukraine since the start of the war. These vehicles are used by medics to save lives, which is more critical now than ever.”
He adds: “Nigel and the team continue to support us by providing vehicles and motivated volunteers. As we mark the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, it’s more important than ever for volunteers to step forward and help.”
