The team are planning to leave on January 30th with a full lorry. They also collect money to buy food in Poland via a GoFundMe page. This means they will be able to buy meat products and other items that they can't take over the border when leaving the UK.

Donate here - https://www.gofundme.com/f/were-going-back-to-ukraine or take items to donate to Grovely Riding Centre, Water Ditchampton, Wilton, between 8 am and 6 pm, Tuesday to Sunday.

The team have also put on riding days and a tea party for Ukrainian families living in the local area at the riding centre.
