Convoy4Ukraine We fundraise to purchase and deliver 4x4s, ambulances and aid to trusted Ukrainian partners

This September will be Alistair fourth convoy to Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Alistair is a trustee and treasurer for Convoy4Ukraine, but his involvement goes far beyond the numbers.

He has already driven two trucks and an ambulance to Ukraine.

One of his strongest memories is taking the ambulance across as part of a group of seven ambulances travelling together — a powerful sight and a reminder of what months of fundraising, preparation and teamwork can achieve.

Now, Alistair is getting ready to do it all again this September.

Behind every vehicle is a person giving their time, energy and commitment to help make the convoy possible.

Thank you, Alistair — and we look forward to convoy number four.

Adam Paul is a farmer and has been involved with Convoy4Ukraine since April 2025, helping the team purchase the vehicles that will eventually make their way to Ukraine.

It’s very much a team effort. Our mechanics help select suitable vehicles, they are brought onto the farm and then go through the workshops to make sure they are ready for the journey ahead.

Since Adam joined, he says the team has taken more than 50 vehicles to Ukraine.

Adam didn’t know Ukraine personally when he first became involved. He simply saw what was happening in Eastern Europe, knew something was very wrong and decided to see what he could do to help.

And now, behind him, another row of vehicles is nearly ready.

Most are expected to travel with our September convoy. Drivers are lined up, and the majority have already been through the mechanics’ workshops and are convoy-ready.

This is what Convoy4Ukraine looks like behind the scenes: people using their time, skills and resources to turn concern into practical help.

Meet Pete Halasovski, one of the newest volunteers joining Convoy4Ukraine.

Pete is an amateur glass artist, and he has found a very personal way to help fund his first journey to Ukraine — by creating and selling his handmade glass ornaments.

This will be Pete’s first convoy, and we are delighted to have him joining the team.

Every volunteer brings something different: their time, their skills, their ideas and their determination to help. Pete is turning his creativity into practical support for Ukraine.

We’ll be sharing more of Pete’s journey as he prepares to travel with Convoy4Ukraine.

Paul’s first journey with Convoy4Ukraine changed his life. This September, he is going back.

Paul joined his first convoy in February 2026. After crossing the border into Ukraine, he spent two nights in Lviv and met people whose pride, strength and resilience made a lasting impression on him.

He saw how life continues despite the realities of war, including the curfew between midnight and 5:00 am and the national minute of silence observed at 9:00 each morning.

The experience showed Paul why the work of Convoy4Ukraine remains so important.

This September, he will return as part of the next convoy, helping to deliver another 23 or 24 vehicles together with essential humanitarian aid.

These vehicles will be handed over to trusted partners and used to support communities, emergency teams and people affected by the ongoing war.

“That’s why we keep doing this. We want to support the people of Ukraine and help make sure their wishes come true.”

Please support Paul and the next convoy by donating, volunteering or sharing his story:

Massimo is preparing to join his second Convoy4Ukraine mission.

For Massimo, returning to Ukraine is about taking practical action and helping deliver support directly to the people who need it.

During the convoy, volunteers will transport vehicles and essential humanitarian aid to Ukraine. These vehicles can be used to help rescue people from war-affected areas, support emergency services and deliver vital supplies.

Convoy4Ukraine estimates that every vehicle delivered saves, on average, 50 lives. Behind each vehicle is a community of drivers, donors, volunteers and supporters working together to make the journey possible.

Massimo is proud to be part of that effort once again.

“I love the idea of going to Ukraine and helping lots of people. I’m looking forward to it. Ready to go.”

This September, Laura and John will drive their own family 4x4 to Ukraine. They will not be bringing it home.

Their Honda 4x4 will be donated to the people of Ukraine, where it can help deliver medical aid, support emergency teams and reach communities affected by the ongoing war.

Laura and John’s connection to Ukraine began in 2022, when they welcomed a Ukrainian mother and daughter into their home for a year and a half. Although the family has now moved into a home of their own, the friendship they formed remains a deeply important part of their lives.

That experience left Laura and John wanting to do more.

This September, they will join a 21 vehicle Convoy4Ukraine mission travelling across Europe with donated 4x4s and ambulances filled with vital medical equipment, emergency supplies and humanitarian aid.

Laura, a registered nurse with decades of NHS experience, will also serve as the convoy medic throughout the journey.

Laura and John are donating their vehicle and covering all their personal expenses, including fuel, accommodation, food, insurance and flights home. This means that every donation made to their campaign will go directly to Convoy4Ukraine to help fund more medical supplies, emergency aid, 4x4s and ambulances.

Their initial fundraising goal is ÂŁ3,000, but every additional contribution will help the convoy deliver even more practical support.

A 4x4 costs approximately ÂŁ5,000 to purchase and fill with aid. Convoy4Ukraine estimates that each vehicle saves an average of 50 lives.

Please support Laura and John’s mission by donating or sharing their story:

A very busy last Saturday at Convoy4Ukraine, and a great example of teamwork in action.

The team spent the day preparing ambulances, vehicles and humanitarian aid for the September convoy.

Brian helped load the first of four stretchers into an ambulance, while Pete and Raluca sorted and logged books donated by local schools so Ukrainian children can continue learning English.

Darren and Tom loaded a generator, Tim used the telehandler to move pallets of aid, and every item was carefully recorded in our system. This allows us to prepare the documentation needed for border authorities and for our trusted partners in Kyiv.

We aim to make sure every ambulance leaves with a stretcher, and sometimes one to spare.

The ambulances are now almost fully packed. The remaining 200 boxes of aid will be shared between 14 4x4s travelling to Ukraine in September, with two additional vehicles driven by our mechanics and space reserved for essential tools.

After such a busy day, everyone enjoyed a well-earned bowl of borscht together. It was a lovely moment to pause, share food and appreciate the people behind all this work.

Thank you to every volunteer who gave their time, energy and care to make the packing day possible.

Behind every vehicle is a team.

Before an ambulance, 4x4 or van can begin its journey to Ukraine, there is a huge amount of work happening behind the scenes.

Vehicles are inspected, repaired and prepared. Humanitarian aid is checked, sorted, labelled and carefully loaded. Drivers are coordinated, documents are completed and funds are raised to cover the practical costs of getting every vehicle safely on the road.

Much of this work takes place quietly, often during evenings and weekends, but every task matters.

Every repaired part, every packed box and every hour given by a volunteer brings another vehicle closer to Ukraine and closer to the people who need it.

Today, we want to thank everyone working behind the scenes to keep Convoy4Ukraine moving.

What part of the convoy preparation would you like us to show you next?

For years, Kristy watched the news and listened to the radio, feeling heartbroken and helpless about what was happening in Ukraine.

She wanted to help, but she did not know what one person could realistically do.

Then she discovered Convoy4Ukraine.

This September, Kristy will join the convoy and drive a 4x4 filled with humanitarian aid across Europe and into Ukraine. The vehicle will remain there, supporting trusted Ukrainian partners and helping transport people, supplies and essential aid.

Kristy is raising money to buy and fully prepare the vehicle. The funds will help cover the purchase, mechanical work, tax, insurance and everything needed to make sure it is safe and reliable for the journey.

Convoy4Ukraine has already delivered 263 vehicles across 22 convoys, but every vehicle begins with people choosing to help.

For Kristy, this is the moment when despair becomes action.

Every donation will help move this 4x4 closer to the road and closer to the people who need it.

Please donate if you can, share Kristy’s story and help us keep the convoy moving.
