We have been approached by a recycling company that we use who are collecting donations for people in Ukraine who are facing such dire unrest. This company have family connections there and are doing all they can to support in this crisis.
As such we have arranged for them to come in and collect items from us on Tuesday 15th March. If you feel able to support this collection please send donations in on Monday 14th March. Please do not send in items before this date as we do not have the storage space.
Any clothing and shoes would be really appreciated, however, the following items are also in particular need:
Sleeping Bags
Winter/ Warm clothing
Torches
Backpacks
Tents
Nappies
Baby formula
Camouflaged clothing
Blankets
In addition to this, we appreciate it is a difficult time for our young people to understand the crisis that is happening in Ukraine. The following links are available to help explain the situation.
