Whitchurch councillor takes epic drive to Ukraine with vital supplies

A Whitchurch man will be taking on an epic drive to Ukraine to donate vital supplies for the frontline.

Gregory Ebbs has confirmed that after two months of fundraising, he will be undertaking a 2,500-mile journey to Lyiv to hand over the vehicle to a mental health charity in Ukraine.

During Mr Ebbs’ time at university, he lived in Poland, close to the Ukrainian border, where he made many Ukrainian friends.

Mr Ebbs, who is also a county councillor for the Whitchurch South ward, plans on handing over a flag sponsored by Shropshire Council to the Ukrainians as an act of solidarity, plus the car and any aid delivered.
