Speaker: Rtn. Will Jackson - Ukraine Aid

Rotarian Will Jackson is the lead for Ukraine for District 1100 working with local clubs and international clubs to help and promote aid into Ukraine.

He spoke to the club on the 26th June 2024 and will provide an update concerning aid to Ukraine. 

In the face of ongoing conflict, the people of Ukraine endure immense hardship. Rotary
members and our communities have rallied to provide crucial support, whether through
physical aid or financial donations.

Every effort, large or small, helps alleviate the suffering of those affected by the war. By

pooling resources and coordinating, we ensure vital supplies reach those in need.

Initially, much aid from these islands was sent to Ukraine for onward distribution.

However, some items were inappropriate or unnecessary, diverting time and resources to
their disposal.

Today, aid continues - but is more tailored to real needs, with better coordination. Its

delivery is planned in advance for efficient distribution.

Financial donations also play a pivotal role in facilitating the purchase and distribution of

essential items for those impacted by war.
