A BOWERHILL vehicle rental and transport company has lent a helping hand to get supplies to Ukrainian refugees.
Manager of Duncan Private Hire and Duncan Self Drive, Clark Ferguson said, “Intense conflict in Ukraine is threatening the lives of families across the country. Homes have been destroyed. Essential services have been hit. Families have been torn apart. People have been injured and, Lives have been lost.
“Duncan Private Hire recently launched an appeal with its drivers, family and friends to collect vital supplies needed for those fleeing the war torn country.
“With the help of our drivers, we delivered supplies to the local collection point at the Trowbridge Civic Hall. Donations consisted of medical supplies, baby products, toiletries, winter clothing, shoes and boots and, non-perishable food supplies.
“In addition, Duncan Self Drive (Swindon & Melksham branch) have financially sponsored an artic lorry to help meet the costs associated with transporting such vital goods to their final destination.
“The lorry will leave from Swindon for Poland. We hope that these donations will go some way to making what is a really difficult and trying time for the people of Ukraine a little easier and help provide the necessary support needed for those who have been forced to flee their homes.”
