Making trench candles

Published on 28 January 2026 at 12:08

Trench candles are a crucial piece of equipment for those serving on the frontline,  especially in the harsh winter conditions Ukraine are experiencing, with daytime temperatures around -15° and night-time temperatures as low as -25° in some areas.

 

Trench candles are very simple to make yet provide so much, they produce light, heat and a means to cook with a long burning time. If you would like to help us by making some and donating them to our appeal you can follow our new instructional video!
