It has been using a combination of supplier contacts and in-country volunteer transport networks to source, ship and deliver desperately needed supplies where they are needed
most. "When I first heard of Ukrainians with diabetes unable to access life-saving equipment, I launched a campaign through Type One Style’s Instagram account, asking diabetics across the world to send supplies. Within 48 hours we had an unprecedented response", said Charlie Cawsey. Instead of relying on pre-existing distribution channels that have been left largely unusable due to Russian attacks, Cawsey reached out to volunteers in the Ukraine, Poland, the UK and France. He established a grass-roots volunteer system, with those on the ground using their own cars, trucks and even buses to deliver aid. "We are managing to reach recipients that no other channel could, because we built our own distribution channel", said Cawsey. Following their initial success, United with Ukraine has been working with the Ukrainian Ministry of Health to identify other medical equipment priorities. Thousands of trauma and emergency kits have already been received by the Sumy Regional Military Administration, and desperately needed diabetic supplies have arrived in Odessa. Rather than send huge pallets of equipment, shipments are broken down to regular size packages by a network of volunteers in Kent, and sent directly to the Ukrainian volunteers, who then distribute them. Additionally, an urgent appeal has just been received for portable life-support incubators for premature babies. United with Ukraine is in daily contact with medical staff and volunteers throughout Ukraine, and can assist news networks with on the ground information and interviews. See more:
