I meant to include the letter I received as it's very informative & as usual I forgot :

"I’m sure, like me, you have been watching the heart-breaking news about the war in Ukraine. I know that it can be difficult to listen to, and sometimes it can make us feel helpless, but I want to reassure you that at The Salvation Army we are doing all we can to help.

We have experience in supporting the victims of warfare and as you’d expect, we’ve swung into action to do what we can. One of the immense strengths of The Salvation Army is that we already have a presence in Ukraine and in the bordering countries. So, when war started and we could see families starting to flee and head for the borders, we were ready to support them at the crossing points. Being there for people when they need us, with practical and emotional support is what we do best.

Both within Ukraine and across neighbouring countries, we are handing out provisions to refugees such as food, water, hygiene items and blankets. Here are just a few examples of the aid The Salvation Army is providing at the moment.

Ukraine: In various locations across Ukraine The Salvation Army is responding to the needs of internally displaced persons by providing urgently needed food and hygiene items.

Moldova: The Salvation Army is providing free assistance to refugees from Ukraine including temporary accommodation, hot meals and drinks, access to Wi-Fi so people can stay in touch and other necessary items.

Poland: The Salvation Army is currently busy preparing relief parcels for Ukrainian refugees coming into the country.

Slovakia: Salvation Army personnel are travelling to a town 50 km from the Ukraine border to assess the situation. They are working on a plan of action in preparation for accommodation, material needs and emotional support.
Czech Republic: The Salvation Army in Czech Republic has available capacity in residential centres, so they stand ready to provide support.

Russia: To date there are over 60,000 displaced people in southern Russia. The Salvation Army is responding to their needs by providing food, hygiene and other relief items.

Romania: The Salvation Army in Romania has formed an emergency team, filled a car with essential items and is on the way to the border to offer support to refugees seeking support in Romania. By the time you read this, we’ll be there, in action.
At this time we are aware that The Salvation Army in other European countries are also planning to respond to the needs of refugees arriving there.

I hope you will keep the Ukrainian people in your prayers while we continue to support them on the ground as best we can. The Salvation Army is not only responding to immediate need but will continue to support over the longer term, adapting to the needs that arise as the situation develops."

With warm regards,


Lieut-Colonel Dean Pallant
On behalf of The Salvation Army

In our bit of 47, the ‘Civil Defence’ guys are organising a collection. One of the collection points is in St Pierre de Buzet. I lent a hand receiving items yesterday.
The amount of medical supply we received was quite astonishing. Local pharmacies and independent nurses and midwives brought us loads of items.
Hygiene items, gowns and masks, toothpaste,toothbrushes, crutches.
They are collecting again today 5/3, 6/3, 8/3 and again next weekend.
I think they will also need more strong cardboard boxes to pack it all in!
If you are in the area and can help please pop along to the salle des fêtes St Pierre de Buzet 47160
