Whistl support Ukraine with humanitarian crisis through their latest appeal, with support from employees and customer donations.

Following the devasting invasion of Russia to the Ukraine borders early this year, the UK and specifically the postal and allied industries have offered their support for those suffering in Ukraine. Ukrainians are suffering with need for healthcare, protection, and shelter, Whistl took the opportunity to support with resources.

Employees from Whistl, the UK’s leading logistics specialists in e-fulfilment, mail and parcels began an internal appeal in late February for items that could be sent to Ukraine to help with the humanitarian crisis developing within the country.

Since the launch, sites from across the Whistl Group have collated pallet loads of items and sent them to the London Ukrainian Appeal.

Support Ukraine, the charity partner commented: “We thank you for offering your help in such difficult times for the Ukrainian people.”

Alistair Cochrane, CEO of Whistl comments:

“It’s fantastic to see so many Whistl employees across the company look to assists the Ukrainian people with so much generosity. I would like to offer my thanks to all who have been involved really showing the Whistl ‘Can do, spirit.”

After seeing the appeal, a customer of Whistl offered 70 pallets of PPE equipment to add to the Whistl initiative, including face masks, sanitiser, gloves, and anti-bac wipes.  The donation was from Reza Choudhury, Managing Director of Rainham-based Reliance Worldwide.

Reza Choudhury, Managing Director at Reliance Worldwide adds:

“Donating to such a cause is a very small part and working with our supplier chain to achieve the same goals. knowing that we are helping others, even in some small way. It is better to give than to receive, strengthening our own personal values, with a feeling of social conscience being one of the biggest reasons why Reliance donates. It is a privilege to be able to be in the position to give, with the practice of expressing gratitude. Donating to our chosen charities throughout the world is life-affirming and acts as a reminder of our ethical beliefs, which makes us who we are today.”

The support and generosity of Whistl sets the standard of the industry, reminding those to give when others are in a time of need. May we continue to support Ukrainians in anyway possible through these darker times.
