Amanda McGrath calls for support for the East Finchley-based not-for-profit organisation

Volunteers from Driving Aid to Ukraine load supplies on to a van

‘Driving Aid to Ukraine’, is a not-for-profit organisation based in East Finchley.

Our aim to get donations to Ukraine as quickly as possible, working with our trusted partners on the ground, we deliver into areas where help is needed: the front line, to civilians that can’t be easily reached and into refugee centres.

So far we have delivered 125 tons of aid and made 14 trips.

Please help us continue our vital work by:

donating funds via our website drivingaidtoukraine.org

dropping much-needed physical donations (a full list of required donations is on our website) at our new North London Collection centre near Brents Cross Corner.

Open from 11th May at 1a Horseshoe Close, London, NW2 7JJ (Off Oxgate Lane, Staples Corner near Brent Cross) – Opening Hours 10 am-1 pm Tues, Thurs and Sat.

No news is bad news

Independent news outlets like ours – reporting for the community without rich backers – are under threat of closure, turning British towns into news deserts.

The audiences they serve know less, understand less, and can do less.

If our coverage has helped you understand our community a little bit better, please consider supporting us with a monthly, yearly or one-off donation.

Choose the news. Don’t lose the news.
