A Swansea couple who found their house piled high with donations for people in Ukraine are now travelling out to the country for the first time to deliver aid. Clare-Anna and Dai Mitchell are part of a group taking three ambulances to Ukraine to deliver generators, as well as other aid.
Last year, Clare-Anna found herself overwhelmed with parcels after she arranged for more than £300,000 worth of aid to be sent from her West Cross home to Ukraine. Shortly after the country was invaded by Russia, she became inspired by a donation centre in Neath collecting items for Ukrainian refugees and decided she wanted to do the same in Swansea.
After her efforts "snowballed" - seeing the couple's house filled with parcels - they arranged for all the donated items to be transported to Ukraine. Now, six months later, Clare-Anna and Dai, both 40, are travelling to Ukraine for the first time to deliver the aid themselves.
