Manchester foodbank and bar owners flying to Ukraine to aid refugees - and need your help

The owners of a foodbank and a restaurant in south Manchester are teaming up to travel to Ukraine next week to bring much needed supplies and cash to civilians.

Jen Savaris and Jamie Whittaker are flying to Krakow with 160kg of supplies from tampons to first aid kits and toothpaste to bring to people both stuck at the border and civilians in Ukraine. The pair are also aiming to raise £10,000 before Tuesday, March 8, so that they can buy more supplies once in Poland.
