Inspired by fellow Guild member Paolo Arrigo’s ‘Aid Out, Refugee Back’ journey to Ukraine, Gavin Wren along with his girlfriend and brother donated a minibus and travelled to the Ukraine border to deliver aid and transport refugees back to safety.

Having raised £5k through crowdfunding, he was able to purchase the food needed by refugee camps locally in Poland, responding quickly and supporting the local economy. He’s raising money for a second journey on his crowdfunding page as well as auctioning a unique Ukraine piece by artist Su Blackwell to support the cause.
