Big Help stands in solidarity with Ukraine
Our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine; whose safety is at risk and are losing their homes due to the ongoing war across their country. Many people in our communities are looking for ways to help, so we have put together a list of organisations providing support to those in Ukraine, and those who have had to flee their home country:
POLSKIE MERSEYSIDE
Michael Francowiak, co-founder of Polskie Merseyside, has set up Polish and British Solidarity with Ukraine and they are asking for donations to gather supplies for those fleeing Ukraine and seeking refuge in Poland. These include clothes, toys, toiletries, nappies, blankets, thermals and more essential items for Ukrainian families. They ask for all donations to be taken to their centre on County Road by Thursday 3rd March to be taken via Wrexham on Friday. More info: https://bit.ly/35LPFDz
