Goal
We are pleased to report that this fundraiser has been completed. The funds raised were used to purchase a vehicle which is already performing its tasks at the front and saving lives! The funds were used for the purchase of a vehicle, its conversion, repair and delivery. Thank you for not standing aside and helping us support Ukrainian military medics.
Here are some photos of the vehicle you helped to buy and convert.

Hi,
We are James and Fergus.
On April 2nd, we will be driving a 4x4 vehicle from London to Ukraine (via France, Belgium, Germany and Poland), in order for the vehicle to be converted as an off-road ambulance. The ambulance will serve along the front line in support of the Ukrainian fight against the Russian invasion. The overall journey will take between 5-7 days and once the vehicle has been delivered, we will be catching flights back to London from either Moldova or Poland.
'Mission Ukraine' is a joint operation by British and Ukrainian volunteers aiming to make a difference by supplying vital supplies and medical equipment to Ukraine. In the last year, they have converted over 20 4x4s into medevac 4x4 ambulances to transport injured soldiers away from the front lines. Due to the Russian occupation and ongoing invasion, access using standard ambulances is increasingly difficult. Resulting in the need for robust 4x4 medevac vehicles to provide fast and efficient evacuation from hard-to-reach areas of the frontline.
What will the funds be used for?
We are looking for donations to support the work of Mission Ukraine. These will be used to purchase 4x4 vehicles, the conversion costs and supporting volunteers in delivering them. Money will also go towards sourcing and delivering motorboats and outboard engines for evacuations on the Dnipro River.
The largest single donation will have the chance to ‘sponsor’ the medevac vehicle with their name on it.
All donations will be massively impactful and aid in the medical and evacuation efforts across Ukraine.

The Vehicle
Once delivered to the Mission Ukraine workshop, the vehicle will be coveted into a medevac vehicle similar to the previous conversions below.
