A major effort has been under way at Annan’s Newstart Recycle to collect and send hundreds of donated items to help Ukrainian refugees.
Vans full of goods including 7,000 face masks, knitted children’s and baby items, plus everything from sleeping bags to first aid equipment and dried dog food have already been sent on their way to eastern Poland for those fleering the war.
And many more vans have been filled and are ready to go.
