Projects supporting the people of Ukraine
24 August 2024 is Ukraine Day
Workington Rotary Club plus members from Bassenthwaite & Cockermouth Rotary Clubs loaded onto a transport vehicle 100 brand new beds, mattresses and drug stands along with 80 camp beds that were left over from the COVID pandemic. These are now on their way to the Ukraine to set up field hospitals for injured military personnel on the front line.
In April 2024 our Immediate Past District Governor Pam Holgate introduced a practical hands on project at Rotafest, our Annual District Conference. The aim was to pack 200 shoeboxes which were then to be sent over to the Ukraine with the help of International Aid Trust. Clubs were also encouraged to donate the contents including toiletries, stationery, gloves, games, sewing kit and other small items.
The following video is a thank you from those in Ukraine who have now received the Shoeboxes.
