RJ Barrington Ltd in Leominster have shown that the Herefordshire spirit is like no other, with the Leominster based company selling 300 special sunflowers that have helped to fund them sending an ambulance full of supplies to Ukraine.

Here is RJ Barrington’s story:

“Soooo…. this afternoon we had the pleasure of hosting a Ukrainian TV crew, who came to interview the team members at RJB’s about the wonderful work they have been doing to raise funds for the Ukrainian Fight.

“A few months back when this horrendous war began, our team member Maksym needed our help to support his country and his family! Little did we realise then the impact our small rural town company could make.

“It was our young apprentice Josh who came up with the bright idea of making these sunflowers when his friend needed help, supported by the team at RJB’s we have been able to make and sell over 300 sunflowers allowing us as a company to support Maksym in purchasing an ambulance which will be filled with essentials and driven out to the Ukraine.

“Today Maksym was able to see the difference a small community can make when he took delivery of the Ambulance along with the team at RJB’s.

“So a big thank you to all who have already purchased a sunflower 🌻 we still have plenty of sunflowers available to buy and will continue making them for as long we can keep selling them, let’s help make a difference.

“Here are a few photos of the process, the film crew, the RJB team members and of course the ambulance.”

You can still purchase the sunflowers from the RJ Barrington office in Clinton Road, Leominster.
