Can You Help Caledonian Marts to Fundraise for Ukraine?

The team at auctioneering firm Caledonian Marts, much like the rest of the population, is looking on with horror at what is going on in Ukraine at present. The team now seeks your help in its fundraising efforts to raise money for those most affected by the war.

The business has decided to hold a charity auction and raffle at its premises in Stirling at 11 am on Saturday 23rdApril 2022 to raise funds for UNICEF’s campaign to Help Protect Children in Ukraine and for Central Plains Group, a regenerative farming business with operations in Ukraine who are raising funds to help refugees streaming into Western Ukraine from Kyiv and East Ukraine. All funds raised will be split equally between these two good causes.

Caledonian Marts Managing Director, John Kyle, said:

“Watching the news from Ukraine over the last few days really brought it home how lucky we are to be in Scotland. The Directors and I had a chat and decided to organise a fundraiser for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in the war.

“For this special sale, we will take cattle, pigs, sheep or machinery –in fact anything with a value that can help to make a difference. We will be donating 100 per cent of monies raised to these two causes. Please do donate if you can.”

Are you a farmer or local businesses able to donate to this special sale in order to maximise the funds raised? If so, please contact a member of the Caledonian Marts team.
