The Polish Centre has been serving as a drop-of point for humanitarian items, which will be collected from the site in High Street tomorrow (Friday March 4)

A drop-off point in Leamington for people to give donations to help those affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine has been "overwhelmed" by the amount of donations it has received.

Earlier this week, The Leamington Courier and Warwickshire World reported that The Polish Centre in High Street was appealing for donations of humanitarian items to be collected tomorrow (Friday March 4) and taken to help the aid effort in Ukraine.

These items included first aid kits and supplies, power banks for charging mobile phones, torches and batteries, blankets, sleeping bags, bedding, thermal duvets (high TOG rating), towels, electric kettles, handwash, toothbrushes and toothpaste, shampoo, bin bags, disposable tableware (cups, plates, cutlery) and disposable nappies.

The Polish Centre in Leamington has received an "overwhelming" amount of donations for its appeal to help people in Ukraine.

Stas Librowski, from the centre, said: the response from the people of Leamington has been quite overwhelming and yesterday we were inundated with donations.

“It has been an amazing.”

Today they issued the following post on their Facebook page: "We are currently in need of vacuum storage bags, bin bags and tapes for volunteers to categorise and repack collections.

"We are also looking for additional vans and trucks to move donations to London."
