Medical aid for Ukraine!

Aim
Help us support medical workers fighting to keep Ukraine's health system going during the war.
A branch of the Free Trade Union of Medical Workers of Ukraine in a mining region of western Ukraine is appealing for humanitarian aid for its hospital, to help it cope with the extensive consequences of the war it is having to deal with - at the same time as campaigning vigorously to defend the health system about cutting, neoliberal reforms.
Ukraine Solidarity Campaign (USC) has so far raised £5,352 pounds for the appeal - donated by unions / union branches, trade unionists and other supporters of Ukraine - but a lot more is needed. We are now launching a new stage of the campaign, running till January. We want to raise at least £4,648, to take us over £10,000.
As well as donating and sharing, please ask your union branch or other organisation to donate.
