We supplied some vital equipment for diabetics to a charity who have been transporting aid to Ukraine during the conflict. . . We have continued to widen our network, working with and supporting both Romanian charities and British charities who support a similar group within the Romanian community. A number of our trustees have joined in training with other charities and also provided training for both Romanians and others working in Romania. |
