Donations being received by woman in Ingham to help the plight of Ukranians

Many have started campaigns and provided support to aid those affected by the crisis including a woman from Ingham.

Kelly Southern is helping a man who owns a logistics company and is shipping donated supplies to those in desperate need and has issued an appeal for donations via the social media site Nextdoor.

She is planning to drive to Peterborough on Wednesday with an array of vital equipment and supplies for those in need and has pledged to “go as many times as required thereafter.”

Among the many items she is hoping to take with her to be transported out to Eastern Europe is cold/flu treatment, antiseptic cream, bandages, sterile dressings, surgical tape, wound closure strips, multi vitamins, first aid kits, lozenges, Vicks vapor rub, barrier cream and cough syrup.

Kelly is also hoping to also take donations of food and drink including protein bars, 3 in 1 coffee sachets, small packets nuts/raisins, crunchy peanut butter in plastic containers, soups, plus personal hygiene items including toothbrushes, toothpaste, wet wipes and dry biscuits for pets.

People who are willing to donate any items can take them to her at Fernleigh, Culford Road, Ingham, Bury St Edmunds, IP311NP.

She says she is located in a bungalow directly opposite the Cadogan pub and added: “There is a black box next to my shed, or feel free to knock. Thank you in advance for your support.”
