Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has hit close to home for one North Shields dental practice, which has launched a fundraising campaign to support refugees fleeing the war torn country.
Ewan Bramley Dental Care on North Shields Fish Quay is hoping to raise at least £5,000 to help friend and colleague Serhiy Hrybovskiy, who has stepped back from work to help fight for his country’s future in his home city of Lviv in western Ukraine.
The 37-year-old, who runs the Smile Energy dental laboratory in Lviv, has already sent his wife and young sons aged six and 10 to safety in the Netherlands via Poland as Russian forces continue their brutal and unprovoked assault on Ukraine.
