A couple from Winterbourne are embarking on an epic trip to the Polish/Ukrainian border in a minibus today (Wednesday, March 23) to help transport Ukrainian refugees to their temporary homes.
Emma and Paul Heyward say they were "filled with sadness" watching the crisis in Ukraine unfold and felt they had to do something. Paul, a mechanic, serviced a minibus and drove it to Bristol, which the pair filled with donations from a drop-off point in Emersons Green ready to drive to the border.
They have set up a fundraising page to help with fuel costs. It is estimated fuel for the journey, during which they will cover 7,500 miles, will cost around £3,000.
