Supporting Ukraine

I recently had a clear out of my footie programmes, many of which are Leeds, home and away, dating back to the 60s when I first started following the Mighty Whites. Some of them brought back great and in some cases painful memories of certain matches that I attended - and much nostalgia. My first thought was that I should ensure the programmes went to a good home where they would be treasured, as I had (even if they were in the loft!) and what better than to see if members of the Hampshire Whites would be interested.

I also wanted to raise some cash for a great cause close to my heart....Ukraine....a place that I have lived and worked for many years and where I have countless friends and happy memories. Though I don't live there now I am trying to do my bit to support a great nation and some of this is through purchasing items necessary for everyday life ranging from medicines through to nappies and toys for kids affected by the war.

Jacqui stepped (thanks Jacqui really appreciated!) in and as some of you will know has sold a lot of my programmes and the money raised has gone to buying some of these items which have then found their way to Portsmouth Helps Ukraine which does what is says on the tin and gets them transported east
