Charitable Knaresborough residents have been thanked by a Ukrainian city following another delivery of humanitarian aid.
Volodymyr City Council praised the town after Knaresborough volunteers Bob Frendt and Maureen Swann visited the community in the Volyn region.
The pair delivered supplies to a social services centre supporting older people and those with disabilities.
The aid included wheelchairs, walking aids, sanitary chairs, hygiene products, blankets, pillows, clothes and shoes.
Household appliances including irons and fans were also donated.
The volunteers met Volodymyr Mayor Igor Palionka and other local representatives to discuss further cooperation between the two communities.
Volodymyr City Council said Bob and Maureen had “become good friends to our community”.
It added:
“The Volodymyr community expresses sincere gratitude to Bob Frendt, Maureen Swann and the entire city of Knaresborough for the important ongoing assistance to our community and care for Ukrainian children and the older generation.”
During the visit, Bob also outlined plans to invite 15 young Ukrainian athletes and four accompanying adults to Knaresborough in July 2027.
Fundraising events are being organised to help cover the cost of the trip.
The volunteers are also registering a new organisation called Help from Knaresborough to Ukraine, which will support further fundraising for Volodymyr and other Ukrainian communities.
