We are part of a volunteer group based at Federation House, Claremont Road, Nottingham, NG5 1BH. We initially came together in February 2022 responding to a Facebook post 'help needed' This was from Roman who owns Trident Security, at this time based at donated premises at Quayside Colwick. City hospital had been collecting donations but didn't have the transport so as the premises in Colwick were no longer available from mid-march we moved over to the Minster building at City Hospital, a local businessman also came on board offering storage at his yard in Alfreton and a place for the lorry to be loaded We have been sending artic lorries full of humanitarian aid, equipment and vehicles since March 22 we're now on lorry 64. We are also helping our Ukrainian guests however we can. Many Ukrainians who have recently settled with host families now volunteer with us to help their own people. This whole war situation is unbelievable, distressing and extremely upsetting but when you meet people first-hand or get a message direct from Ukrainians they are so grateful and overwhelmed by our kindness and generosity...I am humbled to the core and my heart bursts with pain when I hear their stories and what they have had to deal with. So we want to continue to help, we need donations. Join our Facebook group CityHubUkraine for all the up-to-date information. Thank you. The project operates from a disused area in the Nottingham City Hospital at St Francis Way, Nottingham City Hospital, Nottingham, NG5 1PB. We have contacts in Ukraine who let us know what they need, e.g. with winter coming on they have requested warm clothes, boots, socks, underwear, candles etc. There is always a requirement for food for the soldiers in the trenches, mainly dried foods e.g. pasta, pot noodles, tinned foods, things which have a long shelf life, we can’t send fresh food. We provide all kinds of things, ambulances, vans, clothing, bedding, footwear, empty tin cans (these are transformed into candles), Baby items such as prams, pushchairs, disposable nappies, and toys. We also provide any medical equipment and medicines that we can get our hands on, pretty much anything that can be made use of by a population under daily missile attack. Any remaining (fresh/perishable) foods which can not be sent to Ukraine will be redistributed to Arnold Food Bank which is run by The Trussell Trust and are happy to receive any donations of food which is redistributed by them to local people in need within the community. CityHubUkraine doesn't make any charges for anything. We already receive some small donations of food from some of the other volunteers who have arrangements with some supermarkets e.g. Aldi. CityHubUkraine An article about CityHubUkraine appeared on the BBC Website on 2nd May 2024, in the West Bridgford Wire on 23rd February 2025, the Nottingham Post on 25th February 2024 and Our Lead Ann Vickers was interviewed by BBC Radio Nottingham on 13th November 2025.
