Nigel Watson does something about it...

The reason I got involved with the Ukrainian situation is that I found it hard to sit at home in the warm drinking my coffee watching it all unfold on the TV. It could be the UK it was happening to.  I was in a church one Sunday evening when the Ukraine was mentioned and just like that I knew I had to do something to try and help them somehow.  After the service outside the church I phoned a Bulgarian friend of mine, in Bulgaria, who had delivered aid to the Romania/Ukraine border and asked where the most help was needed. He said at the Isaccea border post.

Money donations continued to be put in my bank from the Isle of Wight population and my family and I was able to continue delivering for four months (with a three week self-funded break in the middle of having caught a virus; so drove to Turkey to see my son Tom working there). I eventually left Ukraine in September when funds ran out and headed home but the sat-nav took me the shortest route, as they do, and apparently don’t show if a suspension bridge has been blown up (extra 100 miles) lol. 

I got back to the Island to find, with my permission, Jan Dyer and Wightbay hotel manager Matt Colley were already organising the next fundraising event for my next trip . 

Next trip:  September 2025
