PUMA have also been collecting other supplies such as food and clothing.
PUMA chair Ali Piper said: “We make a big impact for the people we see – we see their faces, we see pictures of the donations in use. It’s rewarding, you can see you’re making an impact. Being a small organisation means we can make sure aid gets to where it’s intended.”
Richard Stevens, managing director of Go South West, said: “As a company, we’ve been doing what we can to support the people of Ukraine. Our Peace Bus has helped to raise thousands for the Ukraine Appeal, and being able to loan a coach and two drivers to get aid into Ukraine is another way we’ve been happy to help.”
The coaches reached the Ukraine/Slovakia border, where the donations were taken in smaller vehicles to the frontline.
