Ukraine Crisis Appeal
Friday 11 March 2022
To all of our customers,
Over the last week we have witnessed scenes of unimaginable suffering in Ukraine.
Our customers and our Partners (employees) have shown extraordinary generosity. Together with our matched contributions, we have so far raised more than £1.2m for the British Red Cross. It’s not too late to contribute via this link.
This money will be used to provide food, first aid, medicine, shelter and warm clothing for those still in Ukraine and those who are fleeing for their lives.
We are also providing practical help to the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain by offering Partner volunteers to support their work.
My heartfelt thanks go to all of you who have donated so far.
