In support of the people of Ukraine, Farnham-based businesspeople and Bourne Blades Vets legends Colin Parker (COAN Foods - pictured) and Ashley Jones (Grace House) have stepped up to deliver an essential aid package to Ukrainian refugees in Budapest, Hungary.

Donations of money and/or essential products are urgently needed please - with Colin & Ash due to set off in van(s) on the 24th March to drive across Europe.

Please support this amazing cause by giving money here: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/bournetohelp

Colin & Ash have already been liaising closely with the Hungarian Authorities to ensure that the aid they deliver gets directly to the most vulnerable ASAP - and they also hope to be able to transport a few Ukrainian families back with them through Europe to safety, on the return leg.

If you'd like to donate essential, NON-BULKY products, such as: paracetamol, aspirin, toothpaste, toothbrushes, wipes, sanitary products, baby gloves/hats, baby food pouches (such as Ella's Kitchen - please no glass jars) etc... The Bourne Stores, Churt News and ME Estate Agents in Castle Street have kindly offered themselves as collection points.

NB: Please do not donate bulky items or clothes (other than baby items) as space will be limited. If you're in doubt about what to donate, please email ColinCOANfood@gmail.com

Proceeds from the imminent Bourne Blades Quiz are also being donated to this terrific cause - so please give generously if you are in a position to do so!
