“When you bid for a piece of artwork for Ukraine - every single penny of your money goes to SAMU charity. Thank you for your generosity. It is much needed and much appreciated.
A message from Sarah Griffith MBE about SAMU charity; “I am honoured to say that I am now part of the SAMU Medical First Response Team. We have been working side by side since day one of the Ukraine deployment. They are a professional medical team with extra specific First Response training, to prepare them for the front line in a crisis - it is so important to be really well prepared mentally and physically. As most people know I have worked particularly with Borja Escalada on the ground with his teams over the last nine years in The Philippines, Calais, Paris, Sri Lanka and Nepal and now on their current deployment in Romania and Moldova.”
8 March 2022 / ITV Channel Report / News Feature.
“Artists in Guernsey are auctioning off their work to raise money for a charity helping those affected by the conflict in Ukraine. Olympia McEwan put one of her paintings, which features the colours of the Ukraine flag, in an online auction on Saturday and raised £2500. Since then other creatives have followed suit. All proceeds will go directly to the charity, Samu, a medical disaster relief team.
Sarah Griffiths, campaigner, said: "They are doctors and nurses in their day job and they volunteer in their spare time. When they volunteer they have to do special training, a bit like being in the TA. They have scenarios, for example trying to pull someone out of a van because on the front line there might not be an ambulance or fire engine. I've seen first hand what they do and they are brilliant."
States buildings across the islands are being lit in Ukrainian colours, including Fort Regent in Jersey, Castle Cornet in Guernsey and the States of Alderney.”

“Well that's all for now folks! What a roller coaster of a ride it's been. Thank you for all your fb shares, bids and support. I hope this'll be the beginning of something bigger. I'm thinking it could become a community initiative now, among the creatives of the island. I'd like to pass the baton on to the next artist, and so on...
Our closing and winning bid came in at an incredible £1,500 plus an added pledge of £1,000 towards the cause.”

“I'd like to support the SAMU disaster relief medical team, known to many locally, thanks to Sarah Griffith. https://www.facebook.com/SAMU.Grupo
This group is very experienced, specifically trained in disaster relief. They come highly regarded and recommended. Sarah has worked alongside them many times before. SAMU are on the ground right now, caring for and supporting the refugees affected by the Russian invasion. http://www.samu.es/en/home/
