Welcome to The Aid Shop

The Aid Shop
The Aid Shop gives you, the donor, the power to choose exactly which survival items to provide: food, water, nappies, clothing, phone chargers, or even bus tickets; we compile the shopping list, and have them purchased locally, within or near crisis zones, for faster, more efficient delivery. This approach ensures transparency, accountability, and real impact by eliminating storage, shipping, and border delays, reaching people that traditional aid often cannot. You always know where your money is going!
Your purchase is a real tangible item, not a symbolic donation.
With two minibuses in operation, we are evacuating approximately 12 people each day from frontline towns in Eastern Ukraine or delivering vital food aid to remote villages near the frontline.
We are focused on the most vulnerable: the elderly and infirm, to families with small children. Many people are in need of hospital care that they cannot receive without our transport. Fuel is a lifeline in Ukraine right now.
£25 will fill one jerry can with diesel. Each van needs about two cans per day to perform its evacuations. This means that by buying one jerry can you can help evacuate three people!

Rough-sleeping refugees are dying in France with tragic regularity. Many of these deaths are a result of hypothermia and exposure to extreme weather conditions. A "Sleep Pod" is a one-person shelter that can offer life-saving protection from the elements. Sleep Pods are insulated, rain resistant, wind resistant, quick and easy to use, lightweight, easy to transport, and very cost-effective.
The refugee camp on Samos Island, Greece, is 7km from the town, along rocky mountain roads. There is a bus that can transport refugees, but must pay for tickets. To make matters worse, since May 2023, refugees are no longer offered any financial allowance from authorities.
Our partner - Just Action - provides free return tickets to the refugees at its "Free Market" shop, in Samos Town.
For £4, you can pay for a return ticket to visit town. This means spending time away from the camp, FREE shopping in the "Free Market", attending legal appointments, and creating some autonomy and freedom for the residents of the camp.

Buy a food parcel for a refugee family and provide all the essentials to keep them fed for an entire month!
Many families rely solely on food banks, where supply is limited, to survive. When you make a purchase, a refugee family will receive a food package giving them food stability and security for a full month. The parcel contains cupboard food essentials such as rice, bulgur wheat, oil, tinned vegetables, sugar and tea.
