Colleagues from across Barrhead Travel’s network have come together to raise vital funds and collect essential supplies to support local charities providing aid to Ukraine after the country was invaded by Russian forces.

Barrhead Travel's Cameron Toll branch set up local collection points to take donations

Employees have instigated various initiatives, such as fundraising and collection points, across a range of locations.

In Glasgow, head of sales support Nichola O’Brien co-ordinated drop-off points for provisions and an employee fundraiser to support efforts organised by local Monklands Hospital. Almost £1,000 was raised for supplies to be shipped to Ukraine’s surrounding countries. 

Other stores, including East Kilbride, Clydebank, Cameron Toll and Cumbernauld, set up collection points to take donations such as clothing and non-perishable items for local aid efforts.
