Generators are Ukraine bound thanks to Brixham Rotary
Two generators are on their way to help with humanitarian aid in Ukraine thanks to the Rotarians of Brixham.
Two generators are on their way to help with humanitarian aid in Ukraine thanks to the Rotarians of Brixham.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has resulted in many humanitarian needs and attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure have seen a huge demand for generators for hospitals, schools and other centres supporting a nation at war.
Brixham Rotary President Susan Laurie said: “The Rotary Club of Brixham managed to raise funds for Ukraine and have already sent food and clothing via a Rotary Club in the region.
“When we heard of Ukrainian Action’s Devon team’s impending convoy delivering vehicles and aid, we immediately contacted them to see if we could help as they had mentioned the need for generators.”
She added: “Our club contacted Neil Millward, a Ukrainian Action volunteer in Stoke Gabriel, and offered to pay for two generators to be transported to Ukraine on their next delivery of aid. These two items are now on their way to Ukraine in the 50th vehicle that Ukraine Action have sent.
“Our club and the kind people of Brixham who have donated to help the Ukrainian people hope that our small contribution will help the besieged population.”
Neil Millward, of Ukrainian Action’s Team Devon, said: “ I would like to thank Brixham Rotary for their contribution to our efforts to help the people of Ukraine.
“Our organisation in Devon has already raised over £130,000 and has funded or accepted 35 vehicles that we have delivered to Ukraine.
“Unfortunately Ukraine’s need for our efforts continues and donations via our JustGiving page www.justgiving.com/page/uateamdevon are always welcome and will be used for medical supplies, generators and pick-up trucks.
“The generosity of the people of Devon, even during a cost of living crisis, is overwhelming and the donation of these generators is an example of this.”
More details of the Rotary Club of Brixham and its charitable donations and events are available on the Club website www.brixhamrotary.org and their Facebook page.
