Thanks everyone, crikey.
I've put a bit in, well done for setting it up.
Donated - well done 🙏
In less than two days we have £1650 to spend. Just incredible, thanks everyone who have encouraged me to do this, for Kilo who got the ball rolling, and of course everyone who contributed.
Now the hard work starts, Kate is in Poland for two more weeks (she is of course a volunteer), so I need to get them in her hands within this time frame.
We are looking at the original CAT USA made ones, I’m waiting to hear from the manufacturer if they will sell to my brother in the states for a good price, or we get the good knock-offs.
I also need to work out how to ship humanitarian aid so it doesn’t incur brexit fees, and who with. (Anyone here work for DHL or similar?)
Anyway thanks everyone for such a swift response, now I have to deliver…
Okay I have found a place in Poland who can deliver tomorrow.
Now I need to figure out the cheapest way to send funds. Any ideas welcome!!!
xe.com have been around for years and come up as cheap on the comparison sites or transfer from your personal bank account using the IBAN of the receiving bank - fees vary but are generally low and payments should be via SEPA from e.g. Barclays so same day.
Thanks!!!
Well, things have moved on a pace…
Monies have been transferred, the tourniquets are ordered and should be with our person on the ground today.
Fingers crossed.
I’ll put all the invoices and paperwork up on the JG page. Any left over cash I’ll buy more this end and send with the physical ones I have here.
Thanks everyone for an amazing and quick response to the appeal!!!
I may have to learn how to post photos on here, it’s only been ten years.
Brilliant job jkomo
@jkomo a lot of my mates have already given kit, this company Baseline Medical is distributing and training Ukrainian medics on it, so if anyone in here does have in date kit they'll take it off your hands.
I'll throw a few quid your way instead. Great job dude.
Thanks, that’s great!
so how many got send to ukraine?
Good point- 116 from the group buy, another 11 I’m posting with some other medical supplies.

Sorry I really need to sort out posting pics.
Well let's hope they stay in the packages.

The plan is to leave some cash to cover bank charges if there are any. Then use whatever is left to buy UK Ones and send with kilos ten and any other stuff by courier.
Top work mate.
I volunteered to post jkomo's pics so here's the invoice from the transaction and hopefully there'll be some photos of the shipment in due course.
Thanks Matt!
Donated, great work.
Might not be relevant any more but I currently live in Ontario, and use Transferwise for moving money and found them to be competitive and good to deal with.
Another update; jkomo to provide any commentary
THEY’VE ARRIVED!!!
The picture is with my IT guru who will no doubt post it soon.
They are better than we hoped, and apparently even stronger than the American CAT gen7. These ones have a metal windlass (the windey stick) and are a bit stronger.
So relieved, I was getting a bit stressed moving other peoples money around.
There will be left over cash as people are still kindly donating, so after Just Giving fees, and bank charges I’ll buy either more TQ’s or anything else Kate needs, and post direct.
Anyway, so happy.
Hello, I am writing to you from Bulgaria, I support your cause and I hope all this is over soon. I am interested in everything that happens with the war and I follow all kinds of information sources for credibility. I came across this forum by chance and read that you need turnstiles. [Mod edit] I hope I have been useful to you.
Hi Jimmy, sorry I only just saw your post!
The last of the goods from the STW group buy have been purchased and are now with Fynn in the village, who is driving direct to Lviv, he will hand over to Kostya who will take to the East.
Our final spend after the £1640 on the TQ’s was £40.68 on 1000 167mg water tablets enough for 20-25,000 litres. And £82 on four gas stoves.
These are going out with Kilo’s 10 tourniquets (who got the ball rolling in the first place) and a medi kit sent by blokeuptheroad.
Fynn has now bought another van and a mark one Freelander (what could possibly go wrong) and he and his Mum Karen are driving them out tomorrow, laden with donations from the Debanhams depot in Banbury.
I've talked to the person who can provide them. he told me that he could currently provide up to 500 pieces, and he could find more. the price he told me is 20-25 euros depending on the quantity. the turnstiles were from the reserves of the British army. I hope I've been helpful with whatever I can to cooperate will help you!

Hi Jimmy, thanks but the tourniquets group buy is done.
