MedivactruckstoUkraine is made up of  a group of like-minded friends who have been wondering how most effectively we can provide some small measure of support to the brave people of Ukraine since the Russian full-scale invasion in February 2022. From  small beginnings in November 2022 we have received huge support so that by the end of September 2025 we will have:

​

• driven ten aid convoys to Ukraine;

• raised some £1,350,000 all of which spent on aid and vehicles;

• delivered 85 pickup trucks, an ambulance, a minibus (for veteran rehabilitation in the Carpathians) and an ATV.

• assisted many medical teams and a number of hospitals;

• collected in the UK and delivered redundant NHS non-pharmaceutical supplies.​

​

The team includes organiser, Paul Parsons, Oleh Naida and his wife Uliana who are Ukrainians temporarily living in Towcester with their three children, Anthony White and Tisha Sykes. Oleh has accompanied each aid trip to Lviv and plays an essential role in liaising with Ukrainian authorities and our contacts once in Ukraine, Uliana establishes the priority needs of those we are supporting and acts as buyer of aid, Anthony with help from Archie Hainsworth sources vehicles and Tisha, a retired solicitor, acts as treasurer.

​

We have no administrative or overhead costs and all personal travel costs and cost of diesel are funded by those of us driving the vehicles so every penny raised is used to buy here in the UK the vehicles and items that have been requested by the groups we are supporting in Ukraine.

​

When we reach Ukraine we deliver the trucks and aid to their end users whether in Lviv or elsewhere in Ukraine the aid is either passed to our volunteer network from where the vehicles and aid will reach their final destinations within a matter of days of arrival in Ukraine.​​​​
