It is 600 days since I first set out with friends Chris, Jimmy and Will to the Polish/Ukrainian border where we set up a field kitchen serving terrified civilians fleeing Ukraine as the Russian tanks rolled in towards Kyiv. Back then we had a wood fired pizza oven trailer, my Unimog a Defender and a box trailer filled with tea urns, flour, tea, coffee, tins of tomatoes, gazebos and a huge amount of good will. By the time we reached Medyka our action had raised £90k.
This week we have two teams in Ukraine serving all over the county with a fleet of pizza trucks. Every endeavour needs a vital spark of Positiverosity. Believe in your goal and the rest will follow. We now have the capacity to serve up to 4000 pizzas 🍕 EVERY DAY.
There is bloodshed in every story on the news today but when we feel helpless there is always some small thing we can do to connect with others - as individuals we have so much in common.
