A man from Oldham has led a humanitarian mission to Ukraine made up of horse boxes, delivering aid to refugee centres along the border. The Ukraine Equestrian Relief team arrived in Poland on Saturday May 7, having set off in a convoy the previous Thursday.
The team is led by Stephen Barnes, 44, from Oldham, who has been accompanied by volunteers who drive the horseboxes and students from Salford University. This is the second convey of essential supplies Stephen and his team have taken to the border.
Stephen, a business owner, said: “What started with one truck has now grown to us registering as a charity and planning more trips. They told us it is the biggest supply of aid they have received so far.
