The latest appeal aims to send no less than 10,000 desperately needed generators to Ukraine, in response to Volodymyr Zelensky’s impassioned pleas to an emergency conference in Paris. Following repeated attacks on the power grid and other critical infrastructure, Zelensky said that generators had become ‘as important as armour in helping Ukraine to survive this winter.’ Many Ukrainians get just three hours of electricity per day, not nearly enough to combat temperatures that rarely rise above freezing. At the time of writing, the capital, Kyiv, is forecast to be -4°C in the daytime and -11°C at night, putting thousands of lives at risk. By donating to the Plant & Hire Aid Alliance appeal, you or your company can make a real difference, providing life-saving winter heating to a desperate Ukrainian family. Jeremy Fish, the CEO of Ardent Hire who set up the Alliance said: “For just £270, you can send a generator to keep these families warm. This includes the elderly, as well as small children and babies, who are at serious risk from the cold. We’ve all recently experienced the misery of bitterly cold weather, but just imagine going through that with no power for heating. It doesn’t bear thinking about. We’re appealing to colleagues across the UK and around the world to join us to help reach this ambitious target of 10,000 generators.”
