Ukraine Christmas Appeal

Our friend Ed from “Deal Direct Blinds”, a supplier of Ascot Care, is driving to Ukraine and spending Christmas in Kyiv.

This will be Ed’s second trip after a first visit dropping supplies off at the border with Poland (for more information visit https://www.itv.com/news/tyne-tees/2022-03-04/gateshead-man-driving-to-poland-ukraine-border-to-deliver-aid).
