Thatcham Research’s Chief Technical Officer Richard Billyeald is setting off on a four-day trip around Europe to deliver aid support to Ukraine refugees.
Backed by Thatcham Research, which is providing a fully insured mini-bus, Richard will also provide transport for displaced women and children who have secured visas for the UK.
Undertaking the trip with other volunteers on behalf of charity Eden Aid, which to date has made 21 trips to the region and returned 384 refugees, 52 dogs and 35 cats, Richard said, “I’m helping Eden Aid because what they are doing is really very special. They are entirely reliant on donations but it is challenging because the Ukraine conflict is quickly becoming ‘old news’. But it’s not old news; it’s still very real and Eden Aid is seeing huge ongoing demand.
“The people they focus on are vulnerable – old, sick, or disabled – people just like you and I who have been ripped out of their homes, leaving behind sons, fathers and husbands. There is a continuous stream of refugees coming as people who originally stayed behind now realise the war if far from over, so please help if you can.”
