#TeamCES Christmas Mission in Memory of Gareth Haggerty

As you may know, #TeamCES were devastated to lose our leader, friend and mentor, Gareth Haggerty, right at the start of 2023.

For Gareth's family, friends and colleagues, this has been the hardest time of our lives, but Gareth's dad, Geoff Haggerty, wants to do something truly extraordinary this Christmas, in memory of his son Gareth.

Gareth regularly contributed to charities and fundraising efforts of all varieties, and so the humanitarian Mission to Ukraine, which Geoff is in the process of planning, is something he would be proud to put his name to. This humanitarian mission is run and operated by none other than Ste Holland.



Ste Holland is passionate about helping the innocent children who are suffering in Ukraine and we are so proud of Geoff for embarking on this incredible journey and humanitarian mission with Ste in memory of Gareth.

The mission will see participants visit schools and orphanages in Ukraine, in order to distribute presents and supplies to children who have nothing, or who have lost everything.

The mission is scheduled to take place from the 29th of November to the 15th of December, and Geoff will not be alone. Geoff will be joined by Ste Holland, Toby Simcock, and ex-SAS WHO DARES WINS, Melvyn Downes and is endorsed by the one and only Paddy McGuinness.



We want to bring a smile to the faces of the children we visit during the Christmas period, and know that even the smallest of gestures, such as the giving of gifts will make a massive difference in the lives of these children.

To do this, we need your help, and we are appealing to the van hire companies and van owners for their support.

The mission requires a Luton Box Van to assist with the transportation of gifts and supplies, and we would greatly appreciate it if a van hire company could lend us a van for the duration of the trip.

We know that numerous requests like this come in over the course of a year, but we also know just how important the end result could be.

On top of our request for a van, we are also keen to receive help of all kinds, including shoeboxes filled with gifts for the children. Whatever support you can lend, we will be grateful to receive.

If you are able to provide the Luton Box Van or offer any other form of assistance, please let us know as soon as possible by contacting Jack or Geoff. Their emails will be down below.

In the spirit of Christmas and in the memory of our friend Gareth, we hope that you can help us with our Christmas Mission to Ukraine.
