This Autumn we have been loaned a tractor unit from Barry Davey of Beeches Garage in Stoke on Trent and a forty foot trailer from ATE Truck and Trailer Sales in Wolverhampton. This means we can deliver two articulated lorry loads of aid, plus our seven and a half ton truck. We are grateful to members of the Littleborough and Leeds groups who helped with loading these trucks. It has often been Merseyside who have turned out in force in the past, and Catterick supplied much of the help in July. We hope that other groups not too far from Yorkshire might consider sending a team to help with loading one of the deliveries next Spring.
David Campey and his son Paul, the owners of our warehouse in Selby, joined our aid co-ordinator Mike Allison on the last trip in the Summer, and it will be largely members of the Endon group who make the journey in October.
Our trucks contain many special chairs and mobility aids for children with disabilities; hospital furniture and equipment; medicines and medical supplies; educational toys and games, good quality clothes and bedding, push chairs and baby goods, household items, nappies and toiletries. We continue to need all these items for future trips, but we are still short of warehouse space.
Luba, the physiotherapist at Zhuravichi straps Stas into his new standing frame. When a group of mothers and disabled children came to Totnes in September, they were accompanied by Luba and one of the carers from Zhuravichi, plus two children from the boarding home (who made amazing progress during their visit), a psychologist from Minsk, and a visual aids teacher
