The ongoing Leamington aid campaign for the victims of the war in Ukraine is enabling a group of townspeople in the middle of the country to support around 120 families each week.
Donations of humanitarian supplies made to the Leamington Polish Centre’s campaign are being taken to the sisters and volunteers of the Parish of St Florian the Martyr in Shargorod.

Speaking on behalf of the Polish Centre, David Harrop said: “Without these donations hundreds of victims of the war would be left without that very basic human need of a hand to hold, a bed for the night, food, shelter and a listening ear.
"The need is constant and as the war takes its toll the need increases every day.
“Shargorod has become a place of safety and healing, where refugees and people in need come for help.
