Hampton Wick residents take aid to Ukraine

Hampton Wick residents take aid to Ukraine

Conal & Jaq

Former Hollyoaks actress Jaq Croft and music studio boss Conal Cunningham set off from Hampton Wick for the Ukraine on Thursday July 25.

Their van was packed to the roof with donations of warm winter clothing and sleeping bags from their neighbours in Hampton Wick.

The van, which used to transport musicians and their kit, has been donated under the Ulez scrappage scheme. It will stay in the Ukraine to ferry vital aid, food and medical equipment.

Conal and Jaq will drive it to the war-torn country in a convoy of vehicles which left from the Ukrainian embassy in Holland Park.

In just three days the couple raised hundreds of pounds towards their transportation costs. If you’d like to show your support, please make a donation and leave a message on the Vehicles4Ukraine JustGiving page.
