Ukraine Crisis Appeal
We are proud to announce we have supported the Ukraine Crisis appeal.
For a few weeks, we have been hosting a campaign for the Ukraine Crisis appeal to donate clothes, food, toys, and much more to be distributed to Refugees in Poland with the help of the Red Cross and the Ukraine Army, When we were informed by Brandon Bruce what the team at Jentone had arranged to support the Ukraine Crisis appeal, as a company we wanted to contribute to this in any way that we could, We contacted many companies we work with about this campaign along with our friends and family for any support.
As a company, we are massively proud to be able to help in these trying times, and we hope Evolution Training & Consultancy Service Ltd is just as proud for their immense contribution to this with all of their employees donating so much to this cause.
You can still donate to the appeal by messaging Anj Lillystone
