• Simon Cassidy is a dedicated rail sector colleague from the operator First Rail and Member of our Task Force;

• This week, Simon will once again transport essential aid donated for Ukraine to the Humanitarian Hub in Poland.

• That’s a five-day round-trip of over 4,000 kilometres / 2,500 miles.

On this occasion, together with other volunteers, Simon will be part of a mini-convoy taking five van loads of humanitarian aid and two ambulances – which they are donating to Ukraine.

Simon adds: “Last month, I spent two weeks in Ukraine. I know first-hand what the Ukrainian people are going through. I want them to know that the rail sector has not forgotten them – and I will do everything I can to help them.”

Simon will be leaving for his 8th journey to the Humanitarian Hub this Saturday, 26th October 2024.

We encourage everyone to sustain these vital efforts by visiting Simon’s GoFundMe page and contributing to his transport expenses:
