In addition to our collection and delivery of essential items to refugees at the Polish/Ukraine border, I have also set up this JustGiving page to raise funds for the DEC charities and their local partners in Ukraine and across the border in the neighbouring countries. They are working to meet the immediate needs of all people fleeing with food, water, medical assistance, protection and trauma care.

As well as our own weekly donations to the fund, we are asking our friends and customers to make their own contributions.

£30 could provide essential hygiene supplies for three people for one month.

£50 could provide blankets for 4 families to keep them warm.

£100 could provide emergency food for two families for one month.
