High Peak communities rally to provide practical help for Ukraine

Some of the donations that Little Cherubs in Chapel received to its appeal for Ukraine.

The conflict in Ukraine has seen communities across the High Peak eager to do what they can to support those who have been forced to leave their homes. 

New Mills Youth and Community Project CIC is serving as a drop-off point for first-use items for Ukrainians arriving in Poland.  

Items that are needed include Foil Survival Blankets, nappies, sanitary towels, towels, first aids kits, sleeping bags, thermal clothing and children’s clothes 

They can be dropped off at the Community Pantry at the Indoor Market Hall in New Mills today (Monday) until 5pm or tomorrow (Tuesday) from 9am to 1pm. 

Little Cherubs Community in Chapel is another organisation that has been collecting items for families fleeing the country. They have collected toiletries, nappies, new underwear, and clothing. 

The Red Cross has launched an appeal to help people caught up in the conflict. To find out more or to donate, go to https://donate.redcross.org.uk/appeal/ukraine-crisis-appeal
