All at The Swindon Humanitarian Aid Partnership are deeply saddened to learn of the recent death of Andrew Wickham MBE, Managing Director of Go South Coast, part of the Go-Ahead Group of regional bus companies.

Andrew’s support for SHAP was transformative, and marked a significant effort by The Go-Ahead Group to contribute to humanitarian relief in Ukraine.  Since the Russian invasion, the company has generously donated eight retired buses, the first of which we converted into a mobile field hospital equipped to treat casualties on the front line.


In May 2023 Andrew personally drove the converted bus from Swindon to London before taking part in a ceremony outside the House of Lords where we presented it to His Excellency Vadym Prystaiko, Ambassador of Ukraine to the United Kingdom.  It is still doing sterling service and saving lives in Eastern Ukraine today.

Thank you Andrew for your enthusiasm and support and the difference you made. Our sincere condolences to your family, friends and colleagues at The Go-Ahead Group.
