Cornwall and Devon Sending Love To Ukraine arrive back after completing their 17th trip to Ukraine delivering essential items. 

The group left Callington on November 25 where they successfully managed to unload five vehicles full of aid in the snow and ice into the Warsaw warehouse.

Darren Tait, from Cornwall and Devon Sending Love To Ukraine, said: “It was a very successful, however, also a very emotional trip as once they had unloaded we got to meet some Ukrainian people that we have been helping and also receive gifts from one of the orphanages that our team in Warsaw have been sending aid out to. Some of the pictures that they have sent us are absolutely heartbreaking.” 

The group will be heading out again on December 17 which will mark their 18th trip. 

“At present we have sent 154 vans and there will be another six possibly seven vans on this trip.

“We are also pleased to say that the mayor of Liskeard, Cllr Simon Cassidy, will also be a part of this convoy, which will tie in very nicely with Liskeard twinning with a Kopychyntsi in Ukraine.”
