The invasion of Ukraine has dominated the headlines in recent weeks, with people in Mansfield and Ashfield feeling compelled to help where they can, as many Ukrainians are forced to flee their homes.
In a fantastic show of community spirit, a number of drop-off points have been organised in the area for lorries to be loaded with donations of food, toiletries and first aid items.
Items required are;
Basic first aid, pain killers, protein bars, tinned and packet food, toiletries, feminine hygiene products, tools, torches and camping equipment.
Anyone willing to help with additional lorry transport, please contact Taylor’s Transport on 01623 759595.
Here is the list of drop-off points, which we will update as more locations are announced.
