2023 - Generator Appeal

Following a request from Ukraine we have launched a Generator Appeal.


The Rotary Club of Blythe Bridge have received an urgent request from Rotarians in the Ukraine for generators.

Therefore, we are making an appeal to the public and companies to donate any size generators.

We will collect them from anywhere.

Transportation has kindly been promised to transport them out to Slovenia by Gareth Higgins the Managing Director of KMF Fabrications of Newcastle free of charge.

KMF Fabrications have a subsidiary company in Slovenia and can deliver the generators to a place where a Rotary Club from Ukraine can collect them.

When the generators arrive in Ukraine the Rotary Club will distribute them to deserving families who really do have such a great need for them right now. That way we can be sure that no one can intercept them and sell them for profit.

Blythe Bridge Rotary Club have a just Giving page where anyone can make a donation, which will enable the club to purchase more generators.

If anyone needs any more information, they can contact Vin Gardiner on 07818 415650.
