Someone Has to Drive - Graeme Reavley on Taking Aid to Ukraine

This week I got to meet and chat with Graeme Reavley, a retired vet from Northumberland. Russia’s war against Ukraine began with the invasion of Crimea in 2014, escalating into a full scale invasion in February 2022. Since then, Graeme has made repeated journeys across Europe, driving donated vehicles and delivering supplies to people affected by the war.

What began as a single trip has become a long-term commitment, supported by volunteers and donations from communities across the Scottish Borders and North East England.

I wanted to find out what makes someone keep going back, what he’s witnessed along the way and what those journeys have taught him about the people living through this war. 

You can donate to help the project or contact Graeme Reavley via ba4uk.org
