🌧️ It's raining in Lviv... It might be because 100+ British farmers just turned up to donate their 4x4's to the Ukrainian armed forces, can we get a HUGE thank you and lots of love for these amazing Brits please 😍🇬🇧

A special thank you to Chris and Emily Arbuthnott for allowing us to hold a stall at the Arbuthnott Fair recently. Due to their kindness and everyone's support we managed to raise £1955! Thank you to everyone who helped.

A huge thank you to Tim Darby, a farmer in Suffolk, who has generously donated a generator which has been delivered to Ukraine. It was then handed over to a fund organisation to go to a nursery and home for displaced families. Another fabulous contribution to our charity family.
Thank you to everyone for helping us deliver medical supplies to the front lines. A professional health worker in Avdiivka admitted he had never seen anything like the Blue Large Trauma Bags that are of much need and of use there.
Your support helps save lives. Thank you.
We're back from our 12th Convoy to
#Ukraine
& over the week will share some profoundly moving stories about it & our AMAZING volunteers who came. As one driver said "it's reaffirmed the belief that we CAN make a difference 1 vehicle & truck load of aid at a time"
#SlavaUkraini
Since March 2023 we have exceeded our expectations! After 2yrs of this illegal war we are at a pivotal moment.
#PickupsforPeace
will continue from a £30 combat tourniquet to save a life/limb in a minefield to a crowdfunded £4k rescue medical evacuation pickup. Will you help us?
Pickups for Peace is celebrating a huge milestone! We have now delivered over 200 vehicles! Thank you to all of the people who have donated and helped us so far.

Last week we took another convoy of donated vehicles out to

. Why do we do this? As Mark, one of our founders said "We want to help Ukraine, we see a need & we don't plan to stop! We will continue to hand over cars filled with humanitarian aid until the end of the war."

We are raising funds towards buying & sending out a vehicle for the dad of Yarnya Zakaliuzhna who, at 11, is already a famous Ukrainian artist who specialises in painting animals. Her dad has fought on the front line since day2 , most recently in Adviivka
We got there in the end. Amazing journey, with co-driver James Bonallack, 1,700km, Calais to Lviv. Thanks

When we handed over our 100th pick-up we were so amazed! When we handed over our 300th pick-up in February we couldn't believe it! We are so grateful that people continue to support us - can we get to 400 even quicker?

Everyday you'll find us in your feeds and like me at times, you may scroll past but STOP we need your help to stand in the gap.

needs you to stand in the gap. And this is why.......
You might think "what can I do to help?" Our answer? SO MUCH! It's not always about money! Liking & sharing our posts, putting our logo on your stock car! Telling your colleague, having a stand in a farmers market! It all helps!

Here we go again ✊This time P4P will be taking 40 pickups to Ukraine! 60 heroes from across the U.K. are painting and preparing their pickups for the 1400 mile journey. P4P will not stop until peace is restored in 🇺🇦
We sent the first 43 vehicles in March 2023, since then we've managed to achieve so much more than we ever thought possible. As we approach our 1st anniversary we would love to take a look back at what we've achieved with your support.

Every donation is a step to Victory!
Last week I co-drove a pick-up to Lviv, Ukraine with
@pickupsforpeace
to help support civilians.
I am honoured to have been part of P4P's convoy and hope to be able to contribute more in the future.
See their JustGiving page below
Thanks to the U.K. farming community we have more incredible support, this vehicle will soon be doing extremely important work in Eastern and Southern 🇺🇦 - saving and protecting lives
Convoy number two completed successfully. To the 33 heroes that made the journey in 23 pickups to support Ukraine in her hour of need. THANK YOU!
To those who want to join P4P in future, just reach out to us and start making a difference.🙏🏻
We are pleased to report, the 22 pickups delivered less than a week ago to 🇺🇦 are now working hard to save lives. If you want to do something that has an immediate impact for 🇺🇦, join P4P on their next journey.
We want to do all we can to save lives and we need your help. Stay connected with all we're doing whatever social platform you use.

The ‘brotherhood’ medal is given to those who have delivered more than one P4P pickup or 4x4 to Ukraine. This beautiful medal is a small thank you from the people of Ukraine. We all feel Ukrainian today, P4P will remain with the 🇺🇦 people until peace is restored.
is profoundly moving. Telling the stories of people getting on with life in
#Ukraine
during a war. Looking at how they find the strength to work, love, live & fight for a peaceful future. If you read anything this year - we can highly recommend this book!
Fabulous to listen to a few of the people who joined us on our recent convoys. Great to know it's as valuable a cause as we do. Don't miss out.

Thank you to
@annandaletrans
for their generous donation of a Toyota Hilux for the next P4P Convoy. We could not help Ukraine without the support of such generous donors. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested in donating!
Another 36 heroes supported Ukraine by driving 27 pickups 1400 miles across Europe from the U.K. - if you want to be a part of helping 🇺🇦 deliver peace. Please get in touch with P4P
Do you remember last week Mary and Rory wanted help to fill the pick-up they're driving to
#Ukraine
?
Well you delivered AND THEN SOME!
Mark and Rory were blown away by your generosity and would love to say THANK YOU!
30 U.K. Farming hero’s have finished the first P4P trip to Ukraine. Driving pickups packed with aid over 2100km was awe inspiring. Our work is not done, Ukraine needs our support over the coming months, we will stand with them.
We have the BEST volunteers! 😍Not only did this wonderful pair bring cake to share with the convoy to
#Ukraine
but like all our volunteers do - they worked tirelessly raising funds and getting donations to fill their pick-up. Thank you!!

As the

war continues, more people are directly affected. Reports this week show the need to help is becoming increasingly urgent. We take convoys out filled with aid to give to charities & these are items that are needed. Please get in touch if you can help. Thank you!
It's Mother's Day here in the UK and our thoughts turn to our pledge this year...to keep delivering humanitarian aid to the people of

so families can be together again.
Stay connected with

Would you drive a pick-up to where it's really needed?
AF Member Debbie Playfair felt compelled to contribute to the war effort in Ukraine when she heard about the work of charity

.
Read Debbie’s account of her journey to Ukraine here:
Diana was part of our last convoy. The trip was full of emotion as vehicles were handed over & time spent in

Would she do it again? "In a heartbeat .Lives are changed when we step forward and say "enough is enough - we want to help!"

We couldn't have done last week's convoy without our incredible volunteers. They fundraised for vehicles & aid, gave up their time to drive across Europe and had a life changing experience - which in turn will change lives in
#Ukraine
THANK YOU!
Some people don’t believe it possible to drive 25 pickups and 4x4’s across Europe helping to bring peace to 🇺🇦 - why not count for yourselves. Don’t include the police car leading the convoy 😎 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇦
Its not often in our lives we get an opportunity to save a life and freedom ~ Keith (P4P founder) and our amazing volunteers have done just that!
Grateful for the 400+ P4P volunteers who work tirelessly to make sure the war in
#Ukraine
is not forgotten & neither are it's people.
Since March 2023 we've delivered 268 donated vehicles to Ukraine & we like to fill them up with other needed items. The roads are often covered in shrapnel & are wrecking tyres - so if you have any to donate please get in touch. Thank you!
