A DONATION hub at Barons Quay in Northwich is helping collect essential items for those fleeing the conflict in Ukraine – and you could volunteer to aid the efforts.

The hub is located by Odeon Cinema and is open Monday to Saturday from 2pm until 5pm.

The site will be kept open until it is no longer needed.

The following donations are being collected:

  • Toothbrushes/toothpaste
  • Sanitary products
  • First aid supplies (inc. over the counter medicines such as ibuprofen, paracetamol, calpol, bandages, plasters, sterile gloves, antiseptics)
  • Tin foil blankets
  • Baby blankets
  • Baby bottles/formula
  • Hats/gloves/scarves

You must be 14 or over to volunteer, and 14-16-year-olds must be accompanied by someone over 18.
