Supporting Ukraine

Weald & Downs Vehicles is a commercial business, not a charity. But we stand with Ukraine, and that shapes how we work.

Why vehicles matter

Across Ukraine, volunteers, medics and aid organisations depend on vehicles that are worn out by UK standards but still have years of useful work in them. A dependable pickup, van or minibus moves supplies, people and equipment where they’re needed most.

Our promise to sellers

  • If we’re buying your vehicle to go to Ukraine, we’ll say so, and it will go.
  • If we’re buying it as ordinary stock, we’ll say that too, and pay a fair trade price.
  • Every vehicle we supply for Ukraine is shown below, with where it went.

Who we supply

We sell vehicles to UK charities that deliver aid to Ukraine, including Community Sponsors Charity (registered charity 1117391). We’re independent of those charities: they buy from us at fair, documented prices, and they decide where each vehicle goes.

Delivered to Ukraine

Our first vehicles for Ukraine are being prepared now. They’ll appear here once delivered.

Before we started trading

The people behind Weald & Downs have volunteered on aid runs to Ukraine. In July 2026, a Community Sponsors Charity convoy drove a Renault Master van to Kyiv for carrying humanitarian goods, and a Mitsubishi L200 to Lviv for humanitarian and medical evacuation work. Those vehicles were donated by the charity rather than sold by us, but that trip is why this business exists.
