“Together we can help”

Mission Statement

It is the mission of British Humanitarian Aid (BHA) to actively seek and prompt monetary and material donations in order to ease the suffering of people in Chernihiv Region, Ukraine, where the collapse of The Soviet Union, and the disaster at Chernobyl, have led to the impoverishment of families, and to cancer and sickness in both children and adults. No donated goods are re-sold.

BRITISH HUMANITARIAN AID

To try to help with the increasing demand in Ukraine, a further lorry, financed by a loan, was sent in November knowing that we could repay it from the “gift aid” contribution when it was available. This amounted to us sending just under 80 tonnes of aid during the year.

The drop in general aid contributions has continued and we are most grateful to Morgan Sindall for a large amount of work clothing, following their merger and re-branding, and to Bodens, the mail order company, for several loads of clothing.  In addition, Bob Parfitt, of Refugee Relief at Wellingborough, very kindly gave us a couple of van and trailer loads of mixed aid. The response to the September newsletter was disappointing and by November our funds were so low that we were unable to send funds out to Ukraine for the Aratta running expenses and the wages for the Aid Team. This was embarrassing so the winter news letter was sent out early bringing this crisis to the attention of our supporters. We shall have to wait to see the response. However, we would like to thank, most sincerely, all those who have continued to support us despite the current strain on personal finances. Without this support we would not be able to continue the vital work in Ukraine which brings a little hope to so many.
