Two OFs delivering aid to Ukraine

Wilf Sheepshanks (R15-23) has been in touch for support for an upcoming trip he, Ollie Currie (K17-23) and 6 other friends are taking part in with the registered charity Pick-Ups for Peace from the 7th to the 11th of May.

Wilf writes : “Pick-Ups for Peace is a Scottish Charity Number: SC052484. The charity’s mission is to deliver non-lethal equipment to the 24th Mechanised Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. They are in dire need of all kinds of kit, so every donation counts in order to acquire and deliver four off-road vehicles as part of the effort to support the Brigade. We will be driving the vehicles out to Ukraine in a convoy. I will be in a vehicle with Ollie Currie so I was wondering if it would be at all possible if you could put the details of our trip in some kind of OF newsletter? Again every donation helps, so the more people that know about it the better!  Click here for a presentation that details the charity’s contributions thus far, as well as other ways one can help. They sent a convoy of 100 vehicles to Ukraine in May 2024, so the logistics have already been tested.  Do get in touch if you have any questions or are willing to contribute- every bit helps. This is the link to the just giving page.  “
