Established six weeks ago by three former parents of children who attended Abingdon and Headington Schools, Eden Aiding Refugees, has successfully delivered medical equipment and supplies to the Ukrainian border for onward delivery to Kyiv.
Using two minibuses, provided by each of the schools, the group is hoping that once the supplies have been unloaded, they will be able to bring back refugees to either Germany, the Netherlands or the UK (visa permitting), as they have managed to do previously.
“We want to make a difference to as many people as we can. These refugees have so little – their entire lives literally packed into one small bag; and the absence of men at the refugee centres, and the connotation of what that means, is particularly chilling. We are incredibly grateful to Abingdon and Headington Schools for helping to make this latest Eden Aiding Refugees delivery possible.”
