SIX students, and one dad, have driven to Ukraine to deliver life-saving vehicles.

Beginning in Oxford on Saturday, May 24, the group arrived in Lviv on the evening of Monday, May 26, having raised over £11,000 to deliver three vehicles, alongside baby and dog food for local charities.

Harry Bishop, 21, who lives in Trull, was one of the seven to take part in the trip which covered a total of 1,318 miles across seven countries in three days.

He said: “It was a brilliant feeling to have been able to help Ukraine even in a small way and deliver these four-by-fours which we know, even though a small help, will save lives.

“Each vehicle is so important to the military and saves hundreds of lives.

“We all partook in the trip to try and help Ukraine in any way we can to help save lives and aid the people in need.”

The group also had the opportunity to visit a Lviv cemetery, where many of those killed during the war have been buried. Harry says he felt that that had been the most difficult part of the trip.

He said: “Just seeing the vast number of graves; people who were even younger than me.

“It was so difficult to see how badly the war is affecting people there. We saw mothers, wives and families breaking down at the graves.”

The trip was undertaken with the help of UK-based charity Driving Ukraine, who work to provide trucks to the Ukrainian army.

The trucks are used on the frontlines as medical evacuation vehicles (alongside providing other essential services like delivering aid), saving the lives of injured soldiers and stranded civilians.

Driving Ukraine have donated over 200 vehicles across 42 convoys since the war began in 2022.
