A UK grandfather leads a volunteer convoy delivering medical supplies to Ukraine in January 2025.
A Wiltshire grandfather, Stephen Ryder, will join a UK volunteer convoy in January 2025, driving one of six ambulances carrying six tonnes of medical supplies to Ukraine.
Organized by Mighty Convoy, the charity has completed 18 missions since 2022, raising over £500,000 and delivering 78 ambulances and 4x4 vehicles.
The 1,200-mile journey from Dover to Lviv involves multiple European countries, with drivers rotating shifts.
The ambulances, sourced through auctions for about £7,000 each, are equipped with medical gear and handed to the Christian Medical Association of Ukraine for distribution near frontlines.
Despite risks from missile and drone attacks, especially in Lviv, the mission addresses a gap in official aid, as the UK has delivered only 25 ambulances since the war began.
Ryder, a community radio presenter, is fundraising £7,000 to support the effort.
