Thanks to donations left in churches at Ebrington, Chipping Campden, Blockley, Bourton on the Hill, Mickleton and St. David's in Moreton, we have been able to take a third consignment of several bags and boxes of candles and tins down to the Swindon Humanitarian Aid Partnership, as well as other requested items such as packs of dry dog food (for soldiers to feed dogs left behind when owners have been forced to evacuate), first aid items, nappies, warm clothing and blankets. 

The candles are a small part of what is loaded into empty trucks returning to Ukraine. They are used for light and heat, specifically in specially constructed stoves. Our candles are but a drop in the ocean but every bit helps bring a little relief. We plan to continue supporting them and are grateful to everyone who has joined us in this.
