Ukraine is in urgent need of transport.

Ambulances are needed to help move civilians who have been injured in the invasion by Russia as well as helping to move wounded soldiers.

Minibuses are needed to help evacuate residents fleeing from their homes to safety. They are also needed to move Ukrainian troops to and from the front line.

4×4 and pickup trucks are needed to transport goods and to allow Ukraine armed forces  to escort ambulances and minibuses. Others are adapted to work on the front line either for moving soldiers or to become armed vehicles.

Vehicles are being bought in the UK mainly from auctions, they are checked for serviceability, wrapped in camouflage and then sent to Ukraine.

Regrettably these vehicles do need to be replaced as they are being destroyed.

The cost of these vehicles is between £4,000 and £7,000 each.

Carmen are raising funds to buy some of these vehicles.  You can watch the vehicle you help to buy along it’s journey from the auction rooms to the front line.

Special thanks are due to T Cribb & Sons, Funeral Directors and the Master for their generosity by donating three more vehicles, and to the members and guests at Cart Marking for their donations. You will be able to follow these additional vehicles’ journey as Carmen drive the them to Poland ready for their onward journey to Ukraine. Purchase of a 4th vehicle is now underway with your help.

Our thanks also go to Derek Mathewson from Mathewson Auctions in Thornton-le-Dale for agreeing to source the vehicles to be sent.
