Catholic Herald director and former MP Brooks Newmark has helped thousands of refugees to safety during the war
Former MP Brooks Newmark has spent the last two months organising buses to move women, children and the elderly out of Ukraine to safety. To date, he has transported 7,692 refugees. Initially, he started moving people from the Polish borders, but then moved inside Ukraine, first to Lviv and Kyiv, then to Vinnytsia and Zaporizhia to take people from besieged Mariupol. After that, as pressure from Russian troops moved further east, he moved his operation to Dnipro and Kharkiv. He has become something of hero for his efforts, attracting the attention of the national press.
