A group of Consett fundraisers are heading to Poland later this month to see for themselves the difference donations are making to Ukrainian families displaced by war.
The team, led by mum of three and county councillor Kathryn Rooney, will volunteer at a refugee camp in Wroclaw, which has received donations directly from the County Durham former steel town. Kathryn, who started collecting for Ukraine at the beginning of March, has so far sent 14 full articulated lorries of clothing, kitchenware and toiletries to Poland, with the last four going to the camp in Wroclaw.
And now the seven, who are funding the trip themselves, are appealing for money so they can buy food and underwear for people in the camp while they are in Poland.
