In a world often overwhelmed by its own challenges, it’s the strength of communities and the compassion of friends that can make all the difference.
It is with this that Swindon Humanitarian Aid Partnership (SHAP) is reaching out to all of you – whether you’re an individual, part of a golf club, a local pub, a political group, a community organisation, or a sports club gathering at the local pub after a game – to come together and help with its mission and sponsor a truck of much-needed aid from Swindon to Ukraine.
Since its inception, SHAP has exemplified the true spirit of humanity. The dedication of the many Swindonian volunteers has led to the successful delivery of an astounding 1,300 tonnes of vital aid to Ukraine, and they’ve achieved this remarkable feat at a minimal cost of just £15,750.
However, the road ahead is not without its challenges. SHAP’s extensive network across Europe, which has played a pivotal role in facilitating these aid deliveries, is now facing financial pressures. In light of this, SHAP is turning to the very essence of community support – individuals and groups who understand the value of lending a helping hand.
Currently, SHAP is tasked with the transportation of over 600 pallets of hygiene wipes from local warehouses to Ukraine. To put this into perspective, that’s twelve 52-pallet trucks that need to travel the 1,256 miles to the Ukrainian border just to deliver this latest donation. And here’s where you and your mates come in.
Sponsorship Options:
- Full Truck Sponsorship: £4,000
- Half Truck Sponsorship: £2,000
- Fuel Cost Sponsorship (Swindon to East Ukraine): £1,000
Mike Bowden, Chair of SHAP, highlights the power of this collective effort, “We can offer media coverage with the group, and we might even allow them to decide which town the truck delivers to.”
Your sponsorship can create a lasting impact, not just through the essential aid but through the visibility and recognition you’ll receive for your generosity.
