A local farmer is collecting supplies for people in the Ukraine and is able to take three van loads to a drop off point in Newport this week.
Adam Vincent from Trehale farm is taking donations from local people up to Newport, Gwent, where other drivers will take the supplies to the Polish border with Ukraine.
The full list of items needed can be seen below.
Adam and his drivers will be leaving Trehale on Friday morning, March 4 so donations will need to dropped off before then.
However it is foreseen that this will be an ongoing supply convoy. For information about future drop off times, see Trehale’s Facebook page.
“If you have any of the items listed and care to donate, please drop off in our barn at Trehale Farm,” said Adam.
“I have access to around three vans and drivers, and we are happy to take as much as possible when needed.”
People making donations are welcome to add small message, little cards or make a blue and yellow bracelet.
