Help for Ukraine
Last week Andrew and his Dad, his two sisters and our daughter, his brother in law and niece attended a talk in Cleish Village Hall. The speaker was David Fox-Pitt MBE, who spoke passionately about his work in the Ukraine providing support to those affected by the war. David pointed out that the war doesn’t feature on the front pages of the newspapers as much here in the UK, but it’s so important that people don’t forget about this cause and the people who are in desperate need of help.
His efforts to bring some much needed food plus support means he continues to work very hard with the charitable organisation, Siobhans Trust, on the border to Ukraine, helping to feed refugees as they come through in their thousands.
It was an inspiring talk and our family group chat was very active in the days after with Gillian, Andrews sister reminding us that Tayside and Strathearn Help for Ukraine continue to collect and transport vital supplies to the country. ‘TASH for Ukraine’ is how the organisation is known and they have sent 74 trucks loads of essentials to the area since the conflict began.
