Warrington’s Own Buses has unveiled a bus bearing the colours of the Ukranian flag as a show of support to those currently suffering due to the ongoing conflict.
Managing Director of Warrington’s Own Buses, Ben Wakerley, said: “Like many across Warrington and indeed the world, we’ve witnessed the deeply disturbing and gut-wrenching scenes in Ukraine. We want to show our support to those who are currently affected by the conflict, with predictions showing that around four million people will be displaced or forced to leave their homes, with a further 18 million people projected to be affected by the conflict. It may only be a simple gesture, but I hope in a small way that our Ukraine bus can help bring people’s attention to the conflict, so that they in turn can equally show their support. We are in discussions with the council and other partners to see if there are other ways that the company can help. In the meantime, I would urge anyone looking for ways to support, to consider donating to the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal, if you are in a position to do so.”
