UK welfare manufacturer Boss Cabins is donating two of its standalone cabins to help Ukrainian refugees
The company has built two bespoke 20ft standalone cabins to be used by local charity, Open Door Lutsk, which is helping Ukrainian refugees who have had to flee their homes due to the ongoing Russia conflict.
They will be shipped to Poland, near the Ukraine border, by Montgomery Transport and will be sent on to areas most in need, acting as checkpoints, aid stations and support units.
In addition to the welfare units, Boss Cabins’ employees, with donations from local people, will be filling the cabins with medical supplies, blankets and other sanitation items.
Charities on the frontline Polish/Ukraine border said the “cabins will help their work immeasurably”
Sarah Butcher, Boss Cabins’ head of customer experience said: “From the moment we heard and saw the terrifying scenes in Ukraine we knew we had to do something to help, it’s truly heartbreaking.
“We contacted the Polish Embassy to find out how we could best help and they put us in touch with charities on the frontline Polish/Ukraine border who said these cabins will help their work immeasurably.
“We have had a phenomenal response from our factory workers who have pulled together to push this project through, putting in extra hours and working weekends to get them done.
Additional solar panels have been installed in case fuel is in short supply
“The cabins we are sending are already an eco energy-saving specification but we tried to think of extra things that may help in this crisis situation such as adding extra solar panels to give more functionality if fuel is in short supply.
“Boss Cabins will support the Ukraine and its people for as long as necessary and with the support of my incredible team here at Boss Cabins, we will continue speaking to local Polish/Ukranian charities and do all we can to help.”
Boss Cabins Chairman, Duncan Wordsworth, added: “Speaking both for the company and for myself personally, I have extreme sympathy with the people of Ukraine whose lives have been irreversibly damaged by this war.
“I know this is just a tiny drop in the face of the huge crisis engulfing these people, but I hope that by donating these cabins we will go some small way to help alleviate their suffering.
“I have been moved by the commitment all our staff have shown to this initiative and am extremely proud of the efforts they have made to bring it to fruition.”
