Rotary Club of Cambridge South President Mike Smith presented Convoy4Ukraine Chair Tom Walston with a cheque for £1,000.

Tom thanked Mike and said, “It’s important that organisations that have only just started get support. Thank you very much to the volunteers who raised money over Christmas – it will go to save lives – and it is good to know that Cambridge hasn’t forgotten Ukraine.”

Some of the Convoy4Ukraine team were invited to the London Interdisciplinary School to take part in a video shoot.

Karen Ainge, Vehicle Team, said: “It was good to hear from everyone their reasons for wanting to help the Ukrainian people. For me, it’s simple – I am a daughter, wife, mother and grandmother and I won’t do nothing whilst Ukrainian women and children suffer.

Peter said: “I am from Hungary and it’s important to help Ukraine and show that not all Hungarians support the current government.”
