The Full Story
A plain summary built from the channels that reported this story.
In a warehouse in Hampshire, volunteers are preparing another shipment of winter aid for Ukraine. The group New Forest for Ukraine collects donations and sends them directly to charities working in the country. Mandy, who runs the effort, said the warehouse was filling with generators, warm clothes, blankets and other supplies as charities prepare for a harsh winter.
The group says it supports 10 charities and NGOs. One is a 60-bed aged care home in Kharkiv, where many residents have dementia. The home is near the front line and has asked for supplies. Charities have sent lists of what they need as they prepare for winter.
New Forest for Ukraine has grown to almost 100 volunteers. Since 2022 it has shipped 960 tons of aid and 911 generators. It sends a truck every two weeks. Volunteers said small donations add up and end up on the trucks bound for Ukraine.
As the last few pallets were squeezed into a truck, volunteers called the manager of the care home near the front line. Olga, in Kharkiv, said bombs and power cuts were a daily reality and that temperatures would soon fall to minus 20. She said the support mattered and that strong friends in England were important.
The truck then set off on a four-day journey to Ukraine. The team was already working to fill the next one. Volunteers said the aid offers practical help and hope, and reminds people in Ukraine that they have not been forgotten.
