Convoy #7
November 2024
On November 15th, Convoy #7 crossed into Ukraine, delivering 14 vehicles that are already in the hands of Ukrainian volunteers and aid workers. These vehicles are now providing crucial support to those most in need, saving lives.
Convoy #6
September 2024
In September, Convoy #6 delivered eight vehicles filled with humanitarian aid to Ukraine, including 4x4s and a van carrying food, medical supplies, and essential items. The journey across Europe highlighted the resilience of those living through the conflict, as volunteers handed over the vehicles to local aid workers. Each delivery strengthens the support network on the ground, offering vital relief where it is needed most.

Convoy #5
March 2024
On our 5th convoy in March, we worked alongside our friends from Trim, Ireland, running a parallel convoy to Ukraine. At times it can feel as though there is little that you can do to help a situation. It seems as though your individual influence is not enough to make a difference. Yet, as we saw in our March convoy, the whole is often greater than the sum of its parts. We delivered a total of 10 trucks, 2 ambulances and a van filled with humanitarian aid.
Ukrainian School Visit
The Cambridge Ukrainian School invited James Crawford to talk to the children about how Convoy4Ukraine is supporting their country.
James explained how we have collected aid donations from St John’s Church, the local community and businesses. The children were interested to hear about the vehicles that were being delivered to Ukraine and asked James lots of good questions.
The children presented James with angels they had decorated with messages of support to take on a previous convoy to give to the people of Ukraine.
Cambridge Rally
24 February 2024
Hundreds of people turned out on Saturday 24 February at a rally organised by Cambridge4Ukraine in the city centre to mark the second anniversary of the illegal invasion.
Amongst those attending from Convoy4Ukraine were several Homes for Ukraine hosts and their Ukrainian guests. One host said: “I’m here to demonstrate that we continue to stand with our guests.“
Rotary Club Donation
Rotary Club of Cambridge South President Mike Smith presented Convoy4Ukraine Chair Tom Walston with a cheque for £1,000.
Tom thanked Mike and said, “It’s important that organisations that have only just started get support. Thank you very much to the volunteers who raised money over Christmas - it will go to save lives - and it is good to know that Cambridge hasn’t forgotten Ukraine.”

Convoy4Ukraine in London
February 2024
Some of the Convoy4Ukraine team were invited to the London Interdisciplinary School to take part in a video shoot.
Karen Ainge, Vehicle Team, said: “It was good to hear from everyone their reasons for wanting to help the Ukrainian people. For me, it’s simple – I am a daughter, wife, mother and grandmother and I won’t do nothing whilst Ukrainian women and children suffer.
Peter said: “I am from Hungary and it’s important to help Ukraine and show that not all Hungarians support the current government.”
