KENT WITH UKRAINE
Documenting the indomitable friendship between the County of Kent and Ukraine
Delivering Humanitarian Aid
Since 2023, Kent With Ukraine has delivered tons of vital aid — from life-saving medical supplies for hospitals and emergency services, to books and toys that bring comfort and joy to Ukrainian children. Each convoy represents the compassion of Kent reaching families in Ukraine who continue to live with the impact of war.
​
We could not do any of this without the kindness and generosity of both individuals and businesses across Kent and beyond. Every box packed, every van filled, and every journey made is only possible thanks to the support of our growing community.
​
If you or your business/organisation would like to support our efforts, we would love to hear from you. We are always looking for new partners and supporters to join us in making a difference.

'When I saw on the news what was happening in Ukraine, I just wanted to do whatever I could to support the people. I knew I couldn’t just sit at home and watch what was happening. I was proud to offer my pub 'TJ's' as an aid hub. I undertook my first visit to Ukraine in 2024, driving a van full of aid from Gravesend out to Chernihiv.
Despite everything they’ve been through, the courage, warmth, and sheer determination of the people up in Chernihiv is nothing short of inspiring. I can’t wait to get back out there, to stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Chernihiv again and do whatever I can to help.'
