Individuals and community groups around the North East are working together to support Ukrainians and refugees who have fled the war torn country in the wake of Russia's invasion.
Volunteers in the Newcastle area have launched donation drives to gather clothing, food and essentials, which will be driven from the North East to Poland, from where they will be distributed to Ukrainiane and Ukrainian refugees.
Newcastle City Council has released a list of charities to support if you want to help the Ukrainians, while Northumberland County Council is set to publish an extensive list of donation points along with a wish list of items to send to Ukraine.
