Race Night at Burghley Park GC Raises Over £4,000 for Ukraine

A race night boosted the appeal for medical vehicles. Guests in race attire raised over £4,000. The charity event supported Ukrainian friends. It happened at Burghley Park Golf Club in Stamford.

The money will buy a 4×4 for Ukraine. This vehicle will help medical evacuation. HOUF wants a second vehicle. They also seek fuel. The group plans to deliver both to Kyiv in March.

Fifteen Ukrainian volunteers aided the event. There was also a raffle and an auction. Local businesses and people donated prizes. Amanda Wheeler, Stamford’s Deputy Mayor, gave awards. Winners owned the winning horses.

Richard Astle founded HOUF. He spoke at the event. Ukrainian medic Yuri sent an important message. He urgently needs medical evacuation vehicles.

Guests had fun at the races with fancy hats. Shane Sandall organized the event. He expressed surprise at the evening’s success. He thanked sponsors and attendees for making it great. Fiona Parker helped organize the event too.

She noted the fun everyone had. She also reminded everyone of their purpose. Ukraine faced another attack during fundraising. The group values support from locals. They are deeply grateful for all contributions.
