An “incredible” humanitarian aid effort at the Hallmuir POW Ukrainian Chapel near Lockerbie has seen thousands of items donated.
Mary MacRae, whose parents were both Ukrainian and settled in Annan, helps look after the site and brought it into action as a collection point for aid after the Russian invasion.
After making an appeal for donations and volunteers via the Standard’s social media, she manned Hallmuir for a couple of hours a day but the volume of goods arriving meant it was all hands on deck from the weekend onwards.
