Hardwicke Circus tour supporting Ukraine

Aim

Hardwicke Circus tours Ukraine to deliver emergency vehicles, med kits, and workshops, supporting the frontline and children.

We are Hardwicke Circus – a rock band from Carlisle – and we are teaming up with Mission Aid For Ukraine to support the Ukrainian war effort. 

Whilst touring music venues in Ukraine, we’ll be performing school workshops for children, playing for troops on military bases and hosting pre-curfew gigs. All ticket and merchandise proceeds will go directly towards their war efforts.

To date, thanks to your donations, Mission Aid For Ukraine has delivered 14 converted SUVs, over 200 personal trauma kits, and countless boxes of humanitarian aid, including clothes, books for children, and care packages from home – Tetley tea, marmalade, and Fox’s Biscuits – reminding our Ukrainian friends they are not forgotten.

The Ukrainian government estimates that each vehicle saves over 40 lives.                                                                 

The med kits are trauma kits that include high-spec tourniquets, bandages, and chest seals. Each one will save at least one life.

Right now, the need is greater than ever. Recent political developments have intensified fighting along the entire front, increasing the demand for vehicles and medical aid. By donating whatever you can, together we can make this happen. From Carlisle to Kharkiv!
