4 years since the illegal full scale invasion by Russia on Ukraine.

The smiles on the photos are not in celebration of this fact.

They are of the friendships made, between like-minded kind hearted people who stand strong together.

4 years of never giving up, volunteering, collecting donations, humanitarian missions to Ukraine - countless amounts of time spent, without asking for anything in return.

The only thing we do ask and pray for though, is the end of this tragic war that has taken so many innocent lives. Displaced so many innocent people.

One thing is for certain, we will continue to stand united together, because UNITY IS OUR SUPERPOWER! 🫶💪🇺🇦

'Hi it's John from John's Red Bus!'.. I wonder how many times I've said that!?.. A lot! 😁

An update... We have 3 more vehicles that we've sourced and currently preparing for our good friend Johnny at 🇺🇲🤝🇬🇧🤝🇺🇦

That equals a total of 80 vehicles that we've supplied to Ukraine since March 2022 💪🏻🇺🇦

We'll also be at the Christmas fair on the 6th December, so come along and support! 💙💛

We are also assisting Swindon Welcomes Ukraine in their Secret Santa for Ukrainian children. We will be delivering the donations personally to Ukraine! 🎄 🎁

Lastly, we desperately want to undertake humanitarian mission #31 to Ukraine, but have almost zero donations. Therefore we will start a separate fundraiser for this, so hopefully we can go to Ukraine after the new year!

We also recently sent a load of disability walkers and equipment to a hospital near Kryvhi Rih. 🏥🫶🏻

Our founder John Parker has his birthday on the 16th of October and we are asking for donations to our latest fundraiser. 🥳

The fundraiser is a collaboration with our friends at Ukraine Support - Power Bus to fund a 4x4 vehicle that John has already delivered to them in Poland. It's currently undergoing mechanical preparation and once finished it will go to the frontline in Ukraine. 🫡

Please donate whatever you can to help us reach our target. 🙏🏻
