Property Tribes director Nick Tadd is urging the sector to get behind his one-man humanitarian mission to deliver supplies to Ukrainian refugees.
Tadd is driving to the Ukrainian border in Poland with a car and trailer loaded up with water, baby milk, non-perishable foods and hygiene products, as well as warm clothes that he plans to distribute. He’s making the spontaneous 20-hour solo trip after feeling compelled to act and has already raised £2,395 of the £3,000 target on his Just Giving page.
Mammoth journey
He plans to use the money to buy more supplies once he arrives in Poland, Tadd tells LandlordZONE, after only grabbing a few hours’ sleep in his car on the mammoth journey. “I hope to hook up with an NGO when I get there and am going to offer my services and hang around for a few days,” he says. “If they can tell me what they need I will try and source it, perhaps in a Polish cash & carry, and will keep going backwards and forwards until I’ve exhausted it.”
Tadd admits he has never done anything like this before but realised that by making the trip himself, 100% of funds raised would go direct to refugees. And while he doesn’t think it will be dangerous, he admits the experience will probably be emotional.
Donation plea
“Some remarkable things have happened since I set off yesterday – the momentum behind this has been quite humbling,” he adds. “Platinum Property Partners donated £1,000 to get the mission underway and I know there’s a huge groundswell of people wanting to do something, so please give whatever you can,” he urges LandlordZONE readers. “Every penny raised will go to assisting the Ukrainian refugees.”
