A County Durham community is pulling together to help raise money for people in Ukraine amid the "heartbreaking" Russian invasion.
Ruth Foreman and Tanya Mitchell felt "powerless" after watching millions of Ukrainian people flee for their lives on the news but they were determined to do something to help.
Together, they came up with the idea of organising a special 'Consett for Ukraine ' event on Saturday which will have a pop-up café and raffle to raise as much money as possible.
