A chef from a well-known Welsh wedding venue is taking a two-month break from his role to contribute to the support efforts in Ukraine.
On Monday 40-year-old Dave Leeke from Felinfeol will be flying to Lublin in Poland where he will meet up with a charity, Stowarzyszenie "Czajnia", to take him across the border.
"With the build-up of the troops on the border I was sure that something was going to happen so I'd already decided that if something kicks off then I want to go and help," Dave said. "I had a friend in Kyiv when it all started so I was talking with her a lot as well. I just wanted to do something good."
