Fundraiser Kathryn Rooney has just returned from volunteering in a Ukrainian refugee centre - and has renewed her appeal for donations to help refugees taking shelter over the border in Poland.
County Durham Councillor Kathryn, 51, travelled to Wroclaw with six other volunteers last month, and said the conditions she saw while there has made her even more determined to do what she can to make life easier for displaced families.
Kathryn heads up a team of Consett fundraisers which is getting ready to dispatch its 15th truck of aid next week. They were moved into action in March after seeing the plight of Ukrainian families displaced by the Russian invasion on the TV news.
