Past Trustees
The current trustees wish to thank past trustees who helped with significant steps in the formation of this charity:
Introduction to charities near Kyiv – Taissia Rantiuk (March 2022)
Acquisition of storage & sorting space – David Gray (April 2022)
Organisation of Ukraine guests packing team – Lesley Gray (May 2022)
Logistics chain to ship goods from Tunbridge Wells to Kyiv at least cost – Pierre Bosdet (June 2022)
Registration as a UK registered charity – David Gray (July 2022)
Introduction to website designer – David Gray (August 2022)
Without these giant steps forward, the charity would not be where it is today, & would not have helped as many needy people in Ukraine as it has been able to.
