Midwife Wendy Warrington, who recently won a national award, has joined a brave NHS worker who witnessed terrible atrocities In Ukraine to return to the war-torn country and help give aid.

Marta Roscoe, 37, from Bolton , has previously travelled with a mixed group of various NHS staff to Ukraine, who are at war with Russia, in order to help teach soldiers and civilians how to give aid during the crisis. Marta, who herself has a four-year-old son and a seven-year-old daughter, described the situation as "absolutely brutal" and said one of the patients, Pyotr, described seeing his neighbours put in a line, including small children, and shot."

Currently Marta, a coordinator at Wythenshawe Hospital, is once again risking life and limb in Ukraine, having travelled with registered NHS nurse and midwife Wendy, 55, to Poland in order to deliver aid. Last week, Wendy, from Bury, won The Best Midwife award at The Sun’s Who Cares Wins Awards after she travelled to the Polish border to help refugees.
