Perthshire volunteer Martha Aitken is helping to feed up to 800 hungry people a day in war-torn Ukraine.
She returned to the country to help those in need in the Kharkiv area – where winter temperatures have dipped to -18C – after initially visiting last summer.
Martha (31) from Abernethy, an ex-pupil of Perth High School, went with a Ukrainian friend, Polina Pomitii (28) from Zaporizhzhia, to carry out her self-funded Project Soups initiative which has local women making huge batches of soups, pasta and goulash served with bread and given daily to people in the Russian-occupied zone north-east of Kharkiv.
