A community effort to collect medical supplies to send to victims of the war in Ukraine is appealing for mobility aids for people who have been injured.
A spokesman for the group said: “Thousands in Ukraine need mobility aids due to the conflict. We’re a local group looking for spare wheelchairs, crutches, walking frames etc. If you have equipment to donate, please email wanstead4ukraine@gmail.com with details and whether you can deliver it to Wanstead or would need collection. If we have enough offers, we will partner with an established charity and have a collection in late March. We’d also like to hear from volunteers who might help with logistics and administration.”
I’m so grateful to you for highlighting this effort. Just to note that we are running an extension to the scheme so please do get in touch at the given email address if you have spare kit.
